- 1. Outgunned CISOs navigate complex obstacles to keep rising attacks from turning into breaches – Help Net Security96% of the CISOs acknowledge that they face a well-organized criminal industry motivated by financial gain. Furthermore, 72% of CISOs say adversaries are moving faster than they are, and 69% say their adversaries have improved their attack capabilities in the last 12-18 months.
- 2. How to write a cyberthreat report executives can really useAlthough cyberthreat reports should communicate the threats, vulnerabilities, risks and mitigation initiatives, security leaders caution against going into too much detail. Threat reports should include: - information about threats that could exploit vulnerabilities within the organization - how the security team is mitigating vulnerabilities - how its defending against threats and any additional actions that will be taken. - any news-making events or significant incidents that impacted others, even if they’re not relevant to the CISO’s own organization - any trends or issues emerging on the horizon, to help avoid surprises down the road.
