Cybersecurity News Update: Boards of Directors’ Focus on Key Performance Indicators
Key Points:
– Boards of directors are more concerned with how key performance indicators (KPIs) are tracked and used in cybersecurity programs.
– They prioritize understanding the overall security posture and risk management strategies rather than diving into technical details.
– KPIs like time to detect and respond to incidents, compliance with regulations, and investment effectiveness are crucial for board discussions.
– Presenting KPI data effectively can help bridge the communication gap between cybersecurity professionals and the board.
Hot Take:
Boards of directors are like your parents asking how school was – they don’t want to know every detail of your day, just whether you aced that math test. In the cybersecurity world, KPIs are the report card, and presenting them well is the key to getting that nod of approval.
