If you’re a CEO, CFO, or other C-suite executive, you probably talk to your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) a lot more often these days. Or you should.
Cybersecurity has become a foundational and integral business imperative. It impacts financial performance and the ability of a company to innovate. As a result, the CISO plays an important role within organizations, serving as the bridge between security and business operations. The CISO protects sensitive information, navigates the latest cyberthreats, mitigates risks, strengthens companies’ security and business posture, and spurs business transformation.
All these responsibilities align the organization with the security prerequisites that are essential for operations.
DFIN’s latest white paper: How Today’s Strategic Cybersecurity Initiatives Can Fuel Tomorrow’s Business Advances explores this new reality. It discusses what it means to be a modern-day CISO, defining what success in the role looks like, how to prioritize cybersecurity at every step, and how cybersecurity can help future-proof your business.
The white paper offers strategies to strengthen engagement between CISO, C-suite, and the board. It addresses best practices for embedding cybersecurity into the initial product design phase, empowering employees with security knowledge and trainings, and more.
“Companies can stay ahead of regulatory requirements by implementing a technology-driven strategy that integrates cybersecurity throughout the organization,” said Craig Clay, President of Global Capital Markets, DFIN.
Added Dannie Combs, CISO at DFIN, “Cybersecurity is and must continue to be an organizational and strategic imperative — and the CISO must work with the rest of the C-suite to ensure that it is.”
