Forbes Insights surveyed more than 1,000 security executives to find out what makes a security leader today VmWare paid
Forbes Insights surveyed more than 1,000 security executives, including chief information officers, chief technology officers and directors of IT security, to find out. Through our research, we identified a small group of companies—the leaders—creating robust security operations that reduce costs and increase response times. Here’s a look at their defining characteristics.One quality that sets robust security teams apart is their ability to align security strategy with key stakeholders.
Buy-in isn’t just from the top, though that is the starting point; it also comes from the inclusion and perspective of those on the front lines of each business, whether it’s the line of business of a credit card division at a major financial institution or an engineering team in a manufacturer’s production facility. Without these subject matter experts on board, it would be challenging to put a comprehensive security plan in place.
Creating defined career paths within the enterprise is a critical step. Great people are never good to lose, and that can be particularly damaging in cybersecurity given the rarity of talent and the high demand. Training and education will give these professionals the fuel they need and the pipeline you require for future in-house security talent.
The importance of leadership in cybersecurity can’t be overemphasized. A robust security organization cannot exist without the input and participation of leaders and other stakeholders in and out of IT. It’s ultimately up to senior leaders to see cybersecurity as an enterprise-wide priority and support investment in the technologies and partnerships that give their companies an edge over attackers.
