Most institutions spend the majority of their cybersecurity efforts focused on the present - and for good reason. Managing risk assessments, responding to findings, preparing for exams, overseeing vendors, and addressing emerging threats are all critical aspects of good, day-to-day cybersecurity.
But, eventually, leadership is faced with a different set of questions.
How will emerging technologies impact our institution? Are our cybersecurity investments aligned with long-term business objectives? What risks should we consider before pursuing a new line of business, implementing a major technology change, or entering into a significant vendor relationship?
These are not day-to-day questions. They are strategic business questions with cybersecurity implications.
Join us for the July Hacker Hour as we examine the difference between operational cybersecurity leadership and strategic cybersecurity guidance, discuss common blind spots institutions might encounter as they grow and evolve, and explore how forward-looking cybersecurity strategy can help leadership make better-informed decisions.
