    The thing that kept me awake at night (as NATO military commander) was cybersecurity. Cybersecurity proceeds from the highest levels of our national interest... through our medical, our educational to our personal finance (systems).

    By 2020, 100% of large enterprises will be asked to report to their boards of directors on cybersecurity and technology risk at least annually, which is up from today's 40%.

    CIOs must engage in digital risk management

    CIOs must become the central agents stressing the connections between business and digital risk. The key is to build influence across business units and ecosystems to better manage security and risk, find the right talent and ensure appropriate levels of protection.

    Cybersecurity insights you can use

    Increasing adoption of digital business strategies results in new cybersecurity risks and challenges. Gartner provides the insights, research and guidance to help security and risk management leaders create risk-optimised strategies to improve their organisation’s readiness against cyberthreats.

    How mature is your cybersecurity programme?

    To prevent and protect the organisation against cyberthreats and security breaches, chief information security officers and security leaders must understand the current performance of their function relative to industry best practices, identify areas of improvement and develop a roadmap to improvement.

    Be thankful for the cyberbreaches

    Even in the most challenging security situations, there is an opportunity for growth and learning. This research helps security and risk management leaders learn about the opportunities that arise from their most daunting challenges — breaches, talent shortages and employee bases who do not “get” information security.

    Prepare for the board’s most likely security questions

    Boards today are more informed and more prepared to challenge the effectiveness of their companies’ security programmes. Effective communication with the board can help security and risk management leaders build confidence and gain support for overall security practice.
