CISO Dialogue: How to Optimize Your Security Budget>
Dark Reading – Chris Triolo
Top Tips for New CISOs Wahlin concluded with a breakdown of the most important things he would recommend a new CISO look at, both budgetary and beyond: Look at the three most problematic areas: IAM, GRC, and SecOps. You can always find things to fix, and it will give you some quick wins. Know your industry and how your security program can help the company grow. You need to be able to constantly communicate the value you’re bringing to the table â it’s how you’ll get budget and, more importantly, it’s how you keep it. “Partnering with the business” is not just a catch phrase batted around at security conferences. Learn what it means for your company and be a good partner. Think like an architect: As you build a program, how do the different functions interact with each other. How do you plan to grow based on shared communication? Don’t be afraid to pull something out if it’s not raising the security bar for your company.
