Boost Confidence of Board Around Information Security
Some of the largest companies in the world are having the personal information of their customers compromised because of cyberattacks. For instance, one of America’s largest health insurance providers, Anthem, was hacked and more than 80 million customers had their personal information released to the public. Cyberattacks are now coming from so many different angles that it makes it extremely difficult for information security managers to manage all of the threats. Board members of companies at all levels are on edge because they do not want to be the next business to experience a cybersecurity breach. As Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), it is your role to provide the board reassurance that your team has a tight grip on the security of your firm. With this much responsibility, consider investing in a supplemental information security platform, TrustMAPP, that will help you maintain the control and strength of your firm’s cyber security as well as help boost the confidence of board members.
New Focus on Security by Boards
Before the advancement of technology over the last decade or so, information security was not at the top of board member conversation. Now that large corporations like Anthem, Target, Home Depot and Sony Pictures have been caught in the midst of cyberattacks, board members have taken notice. In fact, research has shown that information security is the number 2 most important topic with board members, just behind strategic planning. There were over 40 million cybersecurity incidents in 2014, making board members nervous for what is to come. TrustMAPP is here to provide you the necessary assistance to help your company’s board members sleep better at night, not having to stress over a cyber attack.
