There’s an interesting trend that I have personally noticed over the past few years: organizations are starting to take cybersecurity more seriously. With the multitude of high-profile data breaches, organizations are starting to realize that cybersecurity is a significant risk to the business. This allows CISOs and other similar titles with leadership responsibilities to have a larger budget for people, process improvements, and supporting technologies.
Obviously, organizations can direct their budget to many different initiatives with the hope of improving their overall digital security posture. But not all investments are the same. Even the most well-intentioned investments could fail to tangibly improve an enterprise-wide security posture if they are directed to the wrong initiative.
