Board meetings and the dreaded cyber risk update

For many CISOs, the quarterly cyber risk update to the board of directors is an exercise in frustration. You spend hours preparing, only to watch board members tune out because the data you’re presenting lacks the business context they need to make strategic decisions. This persistent communication gap has left both sides — CISOs and corporate directors — dreading the quarterly cyber risk update.

What if you could change the conversation? What if you could translate technical risks into a clear story about business impact?

A new report from the Exposure Management Leadership Council, sponsored by Tenable, explores how the emerging discipline of exposure management provides the framework, language and tools to bridge the boardroom communication gap.

Download the report to move beyond spreadsheets and build a defensible, repeatable process for measuring and communicating cyber risk.

In this report, you'll learn:

• Why traditional metrics fail to answer the board's fundamental questions about business impact and risk.
• How siloed security tools and incomplete asset visibility make it difficult to develop an accurate picture of risk and can lead to a "false truth" in reporting.
• What exposure management is and how it moves beyond traditional vulnerability management by covering all preventable cyber risks.
• How to use attack path analysis to show board members exactly how threat actors can exploit exposures to cause material impact to the business.
• How exposure management can create a standardized, defensible process for cyber risk reporting, much like GAAP provides a common language for financial reporting.
• The essential capabilities required to build an effective exposure management program, from comprehensive asset visibility to robust scoring and prioritization.
