A CISO explains how to frame cybersecurity as a formal program investment: assess where you are, define where you want to go, and plan the path. This approach helps you secure funding, tell your security story, and force the hard choices that actually move the needle.
I think if a company can really lean into the opportunity to assess where they're at from a program standpoint, where they want to go, where they want to be, and where, how they're going to get there, I think that's going to help those leaders be more effective in telling their story, prioritizing the funding that they need to get for next year or at buyups for this year or whatever the situation may be. It's really looking at that as a program investment to, to better prioritize and focus your team. You're gonna have to make choices. You're gonna have to make trade-offs. Decision is the CISO's worst enemy outside of the threat actor.
