As the digital transformation of enterprises continues to accelerate, cyber risk remains a top concern for business leaders. But cyber risk is often thought about in technical terms as opposed to business terms — making it more important than ever for security leaders to educate their board and other non-technical stakeholders on what cyber risk really means to their organization. 

According to a Cybersecurity Ventures report, global cybercrime costs are expected to grow by 15% per year over the next five years — reaching $10.5 trillion USD annually by 2025. In light of this evolving threat environment and recent widespread security events, today’s cybersecurity leaders are under more pressure than ever to prove that their investments in their programs are actually paying off.

Now more than ever before, it’s critical to build a strategic security performance management program in which you take a risk-based, outcome-driven approach to measuring, monitoring, managing, and reporting on your organization’s cybersecurity program performance over time. Of course, in order to do so, you need an easily understandable framework through which you can conduct a cyber risk analysis and lead meaningful conversations on the business impact of your organization’s risk exposure.
