Security Metrics – So What?
What problem is security metrics going to solve for our industry?
Why is our industry focused to obtain them? Once we have security
metrics, how will it make our professional lives better? While
security metrics are useful, it doesn’t help us to demonstrate and
communicate security value to business executives and peers. Without
understanding the value of security, management will continue to
underfund and seek to meet the ‘bare minimum.’ Therefore, security
leaders must leverage security metrics along with business metrics
and objectives to demonstrate how security helps the business.
This session will
provide solutions and case studies to help security leaders identify
business metrics, leverage existing security metrics, and
effectively communicate security value.
Topics will include:
-
Introduction
Exercise – Imagine You Are a CFO, CIO, or Business Executive.
-
Be More Effective -
Leverage both Security and Business Metrics.
-
Demonstrate Security
Value – Win and Keep Management Support.
-
Conclusion – Quotes,
Wisdom, & Experience from Dave Cullinane (eBay CISO)
