Why This Matters
Cybersecurity is no longer a background IT function—it’s a core pillar of business continuity, brand trust, and digital growth. Yet many organizations still:
- Underestimate the full scope of cybersecurity costs
- Focus too heavily on tools and ignore human and process gaps
- Struggle to articulate the ROI of security spending
This resource bridges that gap. It translates technical risks into business language and helps decision-makers align cybersecurity initiatives with strategic objectives.
