Crafting an effective response to the board on cybersecurity
Gartner report: Craft effective responses to the board’s 5 cybersecurity and technology risk management questions.
Interest in cybersecurity and technology risk management at the board level is at an all-time high.
Gartner estimate that this year, “100% of large enterprises will be asked to report to their board of directors on cybersecurity and technology risk at least annually.” Gartner further says, “But in a recent survey more than one-fifth of directors (22%) expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of cyber-risk information provided to the board by management.”
This report offers a series of responses that executive leaders can use when responding to questions in five key areas: the trade-off question; the landscape question; the risk question; the performance question; and the incident question.
With some forward planning around these interactions, security leaders will be able to ensure that the board gains the right understanding to support the overall security practice.
