» Security Strategy
The single biggest problem in the security profession is the inability to align security strategy and operations with the priorities and needs of “the business.” The security of corporate assets including information, has reached the priority list of the successful corporation’s agenda. Despite this, the leadership in many organizations, still perceives security as overhead. They view the resources invested in information security and digital risk management the same way they view insurance: monies spent out of necessity with little to no return. They see little value to shareholders or to the bottom line.
Complication
This problem is exacerbated by the security industry itself. Security professionals and vendors have been unable to engage in effective dialogue with industry leaders that are meaningful to them, their customers, their employees, their mandates, their boards and their shareholders.
Security professionals too often fail to provide the information business leaders need to make critical risk and budget decisions. Business leaders are looking for greater return from their security investment. Without a knowledgeable, effective and efficient organization, security is based on guesswork, leading to high losses and wasteful spending.
