Domains include setting cybersecurity strategy and vision, implementing security solutions, responding to threats and incidents, assisting with compliance initiatives for compliance, assessing the security health of systems.
The report details how CISOs work with global cybersecurity services providers to accomplish these objectives:
- Help them act as an authority by building credibility with the board and senior leaders.
- Allow security to prevent minor problems from becoming major emergencies.
- Measure, optimize, and quantify the true impact and value of security.
