Accepting Risk: Ensuring Cybersecurity Strategies Align with Business Goals

Complex digital infrastructure, coupled with more capable threat actors, means that it is simply not possible for security teams to guarantee the protection of all systems and data, at all times.
In today’s landscape, difficult decisions around security need to be made, and this must be done in conjunction with the boardroom. CISOs must understand the business risk appetite, and where investment and efforts should be prioritized.
In order for business leaders to make informed strategic decisions about cybersecurity, security leaders must provide a cost-benefit analysis of having different levels of protection across all areas of the organization.
Experts will highlight how metrics can be used to demonstrate trade-offs and risks with different levels of protection to enable the c-suite to decide their risk appetite. They will also discuss how security leaders can then work with the business to develop a cybersecurity strategy that meets their specific organization’s needs, while ensuring strong protections for the most important systems and data.
Join this webinar to learn:
  • Why understanding your organization’s specific risk appetite is so important in today’s threat environment
  • How security leaders can help businesses make informed, strategic decisions around their risk appetite across different areas of the organization
  • How this risk appetite can be translated into an effective cybersecurity strategy that aligns with business goals
