The CISO Mantra: Get Ready To Do More With Less
DARKReading, March 29th, 2023
For the foreseeable future, with the spigots closing shut, CISOs will need to find ways to do more with less.
It's always easier to upgrade an organization's defenses when times are flush and money's no object. But try getting your CFO to fund a new cybersecurity project when the boom goes bust.
Good luck with that.
In the immediate past, the security function received ample investment to add staff and equip teams with the latest and greatest security tools. But when uncertainty clouds the economic climate, companies rein in overall spending, reduce head count, and back away from investment projects not deemed essential. This is also when CISOs get put to the test.
