It is mission critical for IT Directors and CIOs to maintain quality communication with senior management and key stakeholders. Quality communication will help to build strong relationships and establish trust. Strong relationships and trust help to pave the way to gaining approval for cybersecurity initiatives and budgets. The factors that contribute to this situation vary from organization to organization. One obstacle to establishing quality communications with senior management is the fact that many local government IT departments don’t have access to senior management. Other issues include business alignment with cybersecurity, soft skills, and senior management. Governance of information and technology is key to help foster communication and engagement between IT and senior management.
