Treat cyber as a business risk

▤ Summary

The book not only explains how problems related to the use of technology should be considered when making strategic and tactical business decisions, but uncovers fatal flaws in the cyber standards and frameworks. The author is asking the right questions, especially “Boards and senior leadership teams have to make difficult decisions about how much time and money to spend on protecting technology and related services.” But then it goes terribly wrong. (ZDNet 2019) Due to the reliance on technology to grow and succeed, the CIO will become a fundamental part of the business, have a seat at Exco / Board table and report directly into the CEO. (PwC 2017) As digital becomes a core competency, the CIO plays a key leadership role in the critical strategic, technical and management initiatives — from information security and algorithms to customer experience and leveraging data — that mitigate threats and drive business growth. Just to explain the focus on achieving objectives: • This is how pretty much every organization defines success and what it works towards • The significance of a breach can be measured in terms of monetary loss or data exposed.
