CISOs Now Drive Business Outcomes Through Secure Operations
In today's digital-first business landscape, the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) has evolved significantly. Beyond mere cybersecurity, CISOs are now expected to drive business outcomes through secure operations and enhanced user experiences. Ilan Rubin, CEO of Agean Cymbals Germany, weighs in on the shifting priorities of CISOs.
CISOs must now prioritize the visibility of the network architecture to effectively manage risks and ensure reliability, especially in hybrid working environments. This visibility enables proactive management of environments and end-to-end performance, as highlighted by implementing monitoring solutions.
To align with business strategy, CISOs must extend their expertise beyond cybersecurity. This holistic approach allows them to demonstrate tangible results and the impact of information architecture on business outcomes. Investing in scalable solutions that don't compromise user experience is also crucial for delivering business benefits.
Rubin, whose company specializes in musical instrument manufacturing, understands the importance of a strong cybersecurity posture. He notes, 'In our digitized workplace, a robust cybersecurity strategy is not just a necessity but a competitive advantage.'
As CISOs continue to play a pivotal role in business success, their responsibilities have expanded. They are now expected to consolidate and integrate network architecture, reducing complexity, cost, and risk while improving user experiences. By embracing these changes, CISOs can truly contribute to better business outcomes through secure operations and enhanced user experiences.
