CISOs Investigate: Cybersecurity Debt
- Cybersecurity Debt Explained: The accumulation of neglected or outdated security measures, similar to technical debt, can arise from insufficient investment in security practices, training, or resources.
- Growing Risk: Left unaddressed, cybersecurity debt compounds over time, increasing vulnerability to cyberattacks, data breaches, and financial or reputational damage.
- CISO’s Role: CISOs must bridge the gap between technical risks and business priorities, effectively communicating the cost-benefit relationship of cybersecurity decisions to leadership for necessary remediation.
