Why Cybersecurity Needs a Translator: CISOs, Speak Business or Bust!
CISOs need to stop speaking in code and start speaking in currency. By framing cybersecurity as a business enabler, they can finally get board members to see it as more than just a nerdy sidebar. Remember, folks: clearer communication means fewer blank stares and more nodding heads when discussing cybersecurity as a business enabler.
Hot Take:
Looks like CISOs need to ditch their technical jargon and start speaking the language of the boardroom. Who knew cybersecurity could be the Rosetta Stone of corporate communication?!
Key Points:
- CISOs must shift from technical jargon to business-focused communication.
- Cyber-risk is a shared responsibility across the enterprise.
- CISOs should frame cybersecurity as a business enabler, not a cost center.
- Effective board communication focuses on likelihood, impact, and strategic alignment.
- The most successful CISOs are translators, collaborators, and strategists.
