New book aims to transform communication between CISOs and corporate boards
SecurityScorecard released a complimentary book, "The Perfect Scorecard: Getting An 'A' in Cybersecurity From Your Board Of Directors." The book offers best practices in closing the communications gap between security experts and the board members tasked with the organization's governance and oversight activities. SecurityScorecard engaged a select group of 17 expert CISOs and security executives to write chapters focusing on different topics that educate readers about cybersecurity.
"Our objective has always been to make the world a safer place, and we have found that board members are often not clear about how vulnerable their organization is to cyber risks," said Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO and co-founder of SecurityScorecard. "CISOs and security executives, in turn, are unsure of how to communicate that risk to their board. Accordingly, this book provides an educational resource to help both parties communicate and understand each other better. This is critical for organizations to have a clear picture of cybersecurity risk in 2021 and beyond."
