Delivering Business Value through Cybersecurity Investments

According to the 2022 Gartner IT Budget and Efficiency Benchmark, cybersecurity is the No. 1 spend item on the IT budget, and it remains a board-level concern. But spend does not always equal protection. CIOs can make a difference by making sure investments into cybersecurity can create business value.  Now is the time to measure the return on investment and make sure the organization’s goals are aligned.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Choosing the right investments that deliver value to the business
  • Going beyond the metric of number attacks to outcome-driven metrics such as how fast systems can be patched
  • Communicating with the board about cybersecurity through a business perspective
