Cyberseconomics tackles the cyber security executive communication and expectation and programme management and assurance problems that existing assessments, frameworks, and technologies cannot.
These comprise the value-for-spend problem.
Problem #1
There is an existential communication and expectation gap between executives and cyber security.
Consequently, the C-Suite and Board struggle to show fiduciary duty against cyber threats.
And the CISO often struggles to show value from existing investment, gain new investment, and is liable for breach regardless of funding levels.
This is a heck of a hotseat for the CISO, C-Suite, and Board.
Problem #2
Managing Cyber Security is Tedious.
Particuarly with remote workers, delegated tasks, outsourcing, and far-flung business areas.
But the silent killer is the subjectivity in existing assessments, frameworks, and technologies that guide decisioning and execution.
Small and medium organisations don’t have the spare resources to implement a right-fit suite of metrics, nor a centralized hub to manage, analyze and report in a way that resonates with executives and checks audit’s boxes.
Large and complex organisations spend too much time preparing for, attending, and following up from meetings, assessments, and audits. Yet they still suffer from accountability and visibility challenges, and inconsistent and out-of-date metrics and reporting. All too often, there’s no substantive audit trail or system-of-record – raising concerns about executive oversight.
Whether you’re a cyber concerned business executive or security leader.
You’re at a small, medium, or global enterprise.
Your cyber security programme is greenfield or mature.
Cyberseconomics can help you tackle these problems with a straightforward, easy to scale, technology and/or services solution.
‘The greatest challenge facing the CISO and the C-Suite is the weak correlation between security budget and levels of protection.’
– McKinsey & Company
“Boards are now pushing back for improved understanding of what they achieved after years of such heavy investment.”
– Gartner
“If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don’t understand the problems and you don’t understand the technology.”
– Bruce Schneier
