doing so, not only can companies propel their development, but they can also elevate their stature in the<br />

What are some of the challenges organisations face when trying to align cyber security strategies<br />

with business outcomes?<br />

One significant roadblock organisations grapple with is the need <strong>for</strong> clear visibility into cyber threats.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re's minimal margin <strong>for</strong> error in cyber risk management, and stakeholders – from boards and investors<br />

to customers – demand a crystal-clear view of a company's cyber security strategy. Yet, in our study,<br />

41% of professionals have expressed difficulties in achieving this visibility.<br />

Additionally, there's the pressing issue of talent acquisition. Just over a third of businesses, 35%, find it<br />

challenging to hire skilled cyber security professionals without breaking the bank.<br />

Alongside this, most cyber threats are time-sensitive, and organisations find themselves in a tricky spot,<br />

often unable to respond promptly due to this limited visibility. This has further hindered the<br />

synchronisation of cyber security ef<strong>for</strong>ts with broader business objectives.<br />

<strong>Cyber</strong>space can be likened to a rapidly growing city, with new constructions popping up every day,<br />

making the landscape more intricate. 37% of professionals have pointed out how this expanding digital<br />

territory makes even the most fundamental cyber security tasks challenging. So, how do we navigate this<br />

bustling cityscape?<br />

Organisations must adopt a well-structured cyber security roadmap, offering a bird's-eye view of their<br />

entire IT territory, pinpointing potential hazards, delivering business benefits, and enhancing operational<br />

efficiency. Investing in cutting-edge tools is key. <strong>The</strong>se digital watchdogs, powered by machine learning<br />

such as artificial intelligence, keep an eye on your network in real-time and <strong>for</strong>esee potential threats. With<br />

such tools at their disposal, organisations can take the front foot, intercepting cyber threats be<strong>for</strong>e they<br />

snowball into larger crises, ensuring a smoother journey in the digital domain.<br />

One other challenge to consider is dealing with radical uncertainty – unexpected events that cannot be<br />

anticipated. In a cyber context, this usually means the appearance of totally new technology or attack<br />

techniques. It is impossible to plan ahead <strong>for</strong> these ‘unknown-unknowns’. However, businesses that have<br />

a well-established security canvas will be better positioned to cope with radical uncertainty, while those<br />

still struggling to align business and security objectives will be more wrong-footed by the unexpected.<br />
