Private-Sector & Commercial Leader Strategies
Integrating Chief Information Officers & Chief Information Security Officers Strategies
CIOs and CISOs are generally grown from highly technical and technically competent disciplines. Those disciplines rarely indoctrinate IT & cyber professionals to include closing the cultural gap between their technical disciplines and business operations. It is therefore, often times, extraordinary difficult for CIOs and CISOs to communicate to C-level executives, the challenges and risks associated with securing, operating, and defending a companies’ networks in appropriate context and in easy to understand ways.
Integrating C-Level, Board, Owners & Executives Strategies
Although accountable and responsible for the entire organization, its security, and, performance, Board Executives and C-level Executives rarely possess the background, experience or the technical acumen to understand and appropriately support the CIO/CISO positions, operations and planning. This includes translating CYBER culture, jargon, and operations into meaningful dialogue with regard to business impacts.
Understanding Federal & DoD Roles in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity threats, unlike other challenges to the US’s national security, do not fit neatly into categories like other threats to our national security.
- Cyber knows no national, geographic, or proximal boundaries
- The cost for entry to become a viable security threat is extraordinarily low
- Attribution for cyber attacks is extraordinarily difficult
- There are nor norms for Federal/DoD response to cyber attack on the private sector
Given some of these major challenges, amidst the fact our government faces daily decisions about how to use of Federal/DoD resources in the course of building and executing our National strategy, what roles does it play now and what roles should it play?
