How CISOs Can Effectively Measure and Report Security Operations Maturity
It's not the number of moving pieces in your security program that matter; it's how those pieces are making your organization more resilient that truly counts. How do you achieve that goal?
The 2019 World Economic Forum Global Report outlined the biggest global risks, ranking data theft and cyberattacks as the fourth and fifth top risks in terms of likelihood. Within the past year alone, more than one-third of US companies reported having suffered a data breach citing cybercriminals as the greatest data security threat, according to IDC. Clearly, data breaches remain a top concern for organizations as cybercriminals continue to mature and evolve their tactics.
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) should be aware of the type of hackers that are targeting their organization and the motives for attack. By understanding the result cybercriminals wish to achieve and why, security leaders can ensure that the proper capabilities for preventing, detecting and responding are modeled.
