cybersecurity THE TOP-LEVEL FIBRE BEHIND CYBER VIPRE SECURITY OFFERS ITS KEY POINTS FOR GETTING EXECUTIVE SUPPORT FOR CYBERSECURITY: A STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE FOR MODERN BUSINESSES In today's fast-paced digital landscape, cybersecurity has shifted from being merely an IT concern to a critical business imperative, says VIPRE Security. "While executives are increasingly aware of its importance, many chief information security officers (CISOs) struggle to secure the necessary support and understanding for a robust defence strategy." The solution to this challenge lies in effective communication, states the company. THE NEED TO TELL A COMPELLING CYBERSECURITY STORY Steve Jobs once emphasised the power of storytelling, asserting that storytellers shape the vision of generations. "CISOs must embrace this wisdom, crafting a narrative that resonates with executives who may lack technical expertise," argues VIPRE Security. "Instead of drowning them in jargon, CISOs should articulate how cybersecurity aligns with the organisation's overarching goals. By elucidating potential threats and the adversaries seeking to harm the company, a realistic picture of the current threat landscape emerges, facilitating a deeper understanding among executives." FOCUSING ON EXISTENTIAL RISKS AND REALISM IS ESSENTIAL "Rather than attempting to address all possible risks, CISOs should concentrate on existential threats - those that could potentially jeopardise the company's existence. Taking a data-driven approach, CISOs can develop a pragmatic cybersecurity strategy tailored to these high-priority risks. This focused approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, maximising the effectiveness of the security programme." CYBERSECURITY CARES: FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS "The CARE framework - Consistent, Adequate, Reasonable and Effective - provides a robust foundation for cybersecurity efforts," says VIPRE Security. "By demonstrating that proposed controls adhere to these principles, CISOs can assure executives that the cybersecurity programme is not only aligned with business objectives, but also regulatory requirements. This alignment not only safeguards the organisation, but also enhances its ability to achieve strategic goals without the hindrance of disruptive breaches or compliance fines." ROLE OF VIPRE SECURITY GROUP IN ENSURING CYBERSECURITY Implementing a layered cybersecurity approach is paramount in the current threat landscape. "VIPRE Security Group offers solutions that go beyond mere technology, acknowledging the significance of the human element," it comments. "Their SafeSend tool, when integrated with other VIPRE solutions, forms a comprehensive defence against cyber threats. "SafeSend not only enhances security and compliance, but also boosts employee productivity. By preventing accidental data leakage and ensuring the accuracy of outgoing communications, SafeSend mitigates risks associated with sensitive information mishandling. Through this tool, executives can feel secure in the knowledge that their communications are safeguarded, bolstering their confidence in the organisation's cybersecurity posture." In conclusion, advises the company, the path to securing executive support for cybersecurity lies in effective communication, a focus on existential risks and the implementation of frameworks like CARE. "By adopting these strategies and leveraging advanced solutions like SafeSend from VIPRE Security Group, businesses can navigate the digital landscape with confidence, ensuring not only their security, but also their continued success in an increasingly complex world. "Don't leave your organisation's fate to chance - invest in cybersecurity measures that empower your business to thrive securely in the digital age." 16 computing security Jan/Feb 2024 @CSMagAndAwards www.computingsecurity.co.uk
