IDC Spotlight: Principles of Being a Data-Driven Cybersecurity Leader
Managing cybersecurity programs without objective intelligence and insights that could accelerate decision-making is a huge challenge in today's rapidly evolving threat and regulatory landscapes. With limited data and metrics available to them, cybersecurity and GRC leaders often end up spending too much time on the tactical challenge of collecting and analyzing data and metrics, and not enough time being the strategic business leaders that they are.
The IDC Spotlight, Principles of Being a Data-Driven Cybersecurity Leader, sponsored by DataBee from Comcast Technology Solutions, highlights what’s needed to enable the transformation from tactical to strategic cybersecurity leadership, and how a contextual security data fabric can help facilitate this transformation. With the fabric’s ability to collect and utilize outcome-driven and actionable contextual insights, cybersecurity leaders can “effectively manage cybersecurity as a strategic component of the overall business strategy.”
Reading this paper, you’ll gain a greater understanding of:
- The key principles to help cybersecurity leaders transform into data-driven leaders
- The specific benefits of applying these principles to your security program
- How a “contextual data intelligence repository” (fabric) can help security leaders increase or accelerate the ability to collect and utilize outcome-driven and actionable contextual metrics, statistics, and insights
