" Boards must understand the path towards ensuring Business Value from Cybersecurity program"
The role of the Board and Executive Management in the success of any organization has always been the critical fulcrum towards the achievement of its goals. As the Internet Age becomes more and more pervasive, the competence levels of the members of the governance structure continues to evolve. Now concepts like transformation, digital strategy, cyber defenses, information security, resilience, technology risk, insider-threat, social engineering, threat landscape, monitoring and access control have become new directions that they have to contend with, understand and incorporate in the formulation and adjustment of organizational strategy. They also need to be on top of all these issues to be able to ensure that Business value is derived from all the expenditure in technology.
As organizations begin and continue to invest in building up their Cybersecurity programs and activities, Board members and executive management are required to provide effective Governance and leadership towards ensuring that their respective organizations is reducing risk to acceptable levels. They also need to know how to ensure that their investment into Cybersecurity is going to bring business value
