Almost nine in ten CIO’s say there is business frustration with IT’s failure to deliver value. Particularly when it comes to delivering IT security services. Many CISO’s feel they don’t get enough funding or support for their initiatives. In this presentation, we will focus on successful recipes for success in demonstrating the value of the security program, combining cybersecurity metrics into meaningful key performance indicators that resonate with the leadership/board and tell a story about risk that supports and aligns with the business/organization. We will further the discussion with an added focus on a whole state approach to government, including how security metrics and reporting can spearhead the value proposition for a whole of state approach including business cases for additional spend. Using and measuring service data to help calculate service value and risk will garner more funding and support Identifying and reporting on the actual Return on Security Investment (ROSI) and business aligned KPI’s help demonstrate program value, helps increase engagement and buy in from the business for the security program. A whole of state approach through a shared service model, heightens the value from the correlation of metrics across various levels of government which can garner additional support and funding for the program
