In the ever-evolving global economy, CISOs face even harsher challenges when defending cybersecurity budgets. Uncertainty persists as enterprises face global economic headwinds, new regulations, increasing technology spending, and an ever-increasing threat landscape. By connecting cybersecurity expenses to business outcomes and demonstrating the value of change spend, they can optimise technology investment and effectively communicate the value offered to retain key budgets.
CISOs must rise to the occasion and prepare for possible cost-optimisation requests. By honing their communication and storytelling skills, they can effectively navigate the C-suite and win over stakeholders as security advocates, ultimately securing the budgets they need to defend against the ever-increasing threat landscape.
Preparing For Cost Optimisation In An Uncertain Future
How can we educate executive leadership on how cybersecurity supports and defends tangible business outcomes, such as revenue generation, cost savings, strategic initiatives, and brand protection?
How can we formalise cybersecurity’s strategic planning to provide greater transparency to leadership on how resourcing decisions are made?
What steps can we take to optimise our technology spend and maneuver the ever-increasing vendor market?
How can you connect cybersecurity spending to business outcomes and communicate the value of change spending to stakeholders?
