Cyber agility: The key to balancing risks and opportunities
As a chief information security officer (CISO), your role is expanding significantly as enterprise risk priorities and threats grow more complex and widespread. Cyber strategy, governance, reporting and risk management practices now face heightened scrutiny from regulators, with the potential for continuous oversight as the political landscape shifts. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly intertwined with the adoption of emerging technologies, CISOs will need to defend against a wide array of threats targeting diverse entry points and surfaces across your enterprise. To stay ahead, take an agile and collaborative approach, integrating resilience and security by design to support innovation, transformation and growth while keeping stakeholders informed on the latest risks.
In the spotlight
Data risk is a business priority
Many industry leaders understand that data is a business imperative. CISOs are concerned about classifying, encrypting and preventing the loss of sensitive data to protect regulator and consumer trust. However, lack of visibility and a holistic approach to manage data risk is impeding strategic growth and transformation initiatives. Managing this complex problem starts by treating data risk as a top-line business agenda.

Resilience
Bridge cyber resilience gaps
Rising technology and information security risks from third-party vendor relationships and supply chains are testing the resilience of many companies. Threat actors are looking to disrupt operations and gain access to businesses through multiple back doors. Staying secure requires continuous vigilance and a holistic approach across people, processes and technology. Organizations prioritizing resilience regularly assess gaps to improve strategies.
CISOs can lead resilience-building efforts by proactively assessing risks and scenario planning, guiding investments to address those risks, implementing training and running simulations and tabletop exercises. This is also an opportunity to align resilience plans with business strategy. Translating how strong enterprise resilience practices can benefit the business is just as important as the plan itself — and may lead to more integrated, collaborative approaches.
