Best Strategic Metric for Cybersecurity

Conveying the risks and progress for a cybersecurity program to executives is difficult. Over the years, I have explored countless ways to quickly and effectively distill the complexities of cyber risk into a simple graphic that informs management teams so the best decisions can be made.

This is my go-to graphic when talking with executives and boards because it:

 1. Showcases strategic value

 2. Conveys operational updates at a strategic level

 3. Highlights important issues

 4. Provides the right level of understanding for non-security audiences

 5. Drives the right conversations for good risk decisions

 6. Is easy to create and update

In the video I discuss why it is powerful, how to use it to drive productive conversations, and walk through the steps to create one.
