Organizations with cyber-committed CEOs and boards can better manage cyber-risk, better protect against cyberattacks, and better leverage cybersecurity for strategic opportunities.
Accenture has identified three industry-leading practices to help make a much-needed shift from a technology—and operations—focused reporting, to a more strategic debate that is business-relevant and focused on protecting the most important assets of the business:
-
Capture the strategic picture of cybersecurity in the business.
-
Speak the language of business impact in all cybersecurity communications.
-
Build “muscle memory” for threat response at the CEO and board level.
The practices also address key findings from a recent Accenture research study of 2,000 security executives across 12 industries and 15 countries. The study showed surprisingly low levels of organizational cybersecurity competence.
