One of the most difficult things to do for any cybersecurity leader is to build a defensible strategy and business case for investment that can be properly measured and tracked using relevant metrics and data. Today’s security leaders need a broader set of skills and influencing approaches to advance a winning cyber strategy.
Based on a combination of real-world experience, case studies, and research conducted with a targeted set of C-level executives, this session will show the audience how to frame the problems and outcomes they want to achieve, what metrics they should be tracking, and how to ground a cybersecurity investment plan in a business justification.
The session will walk through example business cases for cybersecurity investment, including explanations of the component parts, and how each is related. Attendees will come out of this session with tried-and-tested skills for leading change, for influencing people who know they need a stronger security strategy, but do not always understand why and how to solve the problems specific to the organisation.
