PREDICTIVE intelligence cybersecurity risk management – they are one and the same . The good news is that the majority of CISOs will have CRQ capabilities in 2025 – in part or wholly integrated into their cybersecurity risk management programs .
Prediction 6 : The relationship between CISOs , the C-suite and boards will evolve toward more strategic collaboration , driven by a focus on economic and operational efficiency
The CISO that focuses on economic and operational efficiency will be fast friends with business focused leaders . The modern CISO will see risk management as minimising business impact without breaking the bank . It ’ s that simple in theory . In practice , the CISO must do this in a structured manner that is explainable to business stakeholders and executable by operators , which goes back to measurement as a career skill and core security capability .
Clear , measurable communication will be essential , allowing CISOs to translate complex security strategies into actionable insights for business leaders . In short , our relationship with business folks who are focused on winning will be improved to the extent we adopt the right concepts , objects and methods of measurement . This approach will foster stronger partnerships with the C-suite , enhancing decision-making and driving business outcomes , while managing cyber-risk effectively .
Resolution revolution
The transition to a new year is often punctuated by resolutions , which are invariably commitments to ‘ do better ’. CISOs ’ resolutions for 2025 will involve cultural shifts in risk management and collaboration between security and other functions , from IT to the C-suite . To ‘ do better ’, security leaders must focus on business-oriented measures backed by data , and holistic solutions that help target resources where they can make the greatest impact .
