ISSA-LA Security Summit 2024

In today's rapidly evolving cyber landscape, the gap between company boards and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) is more pronounced than ever. Boards focus on strategic growth, risk management, and financial performance, while CISOs prioritize safeguarding digital assets, ensuring compliance, and mitigating cybersecurity threats. These differing perspectives create communication challenges and misaligned priorities that can leave organizations vulnerable. This presentation explores the root causes of this disconnect, including differing risk appetites, communication styles, and objectives. It will offer actionable strategies to bridge the divide, foster mutual understanding, and align cybersecurity with overall business goals, ensuring both parties can work synergistically for the organization's success.
