CIOs and CISOs: What you need to know now

For today’s Chief Information Officers (CIO) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISO), managing cyber risk involves much more than simply putting the right security infrastructure in place. 

To bring about true cyber resilience, IT security leaders need to collaborate to overcome complex governance challenges while ensuring there are no obstacles to impede an effective response to cyberattacks.

Barracuda has released a new report that every CIO and CISO should read and keep handy. The CIO report: Leading your business through cyber risk is packed with up-to-date insights about the latest security concerns, such as generative AI. And it addresses some of the key reasons why some organizations fall short when it comes to readiness and resilience, while offering practical guidance.

Take an expert-led tour

Even better: at an upcoming webinar, you can get a guided tour through the findings of the report, led by Barracuda CIO Siroui Mushegian and CISO Riaz Lakhani.

The report, produced in collaboration with the Ponemon Institute, is based on a survey of nearly two thousand IT security leaders around the world. 

The data within provides a wealth of insights, including:

• Why governance challenges emerge as a key contributor to respondents’ lack of confidence in their incident-response readiness.

• How effective CIOs and CISOs work together to leverage their resources to optimize cyber resilience

• Why some industries have greater confidence than others in their cybersecurity infrastructure and response plans—and whether it’s justified

Achieving cyber resilience

Siroui and Riaz will also provide a deep analysis of the best practices revealed by the survey and will examine the cyber resilience checklist included in the report. 

As an IT security leader, you’ll come away from this discussion with a clear understanding of what a highly cyber-resilient security posture looks like for your organization—and with the tools to chart a course, and execute a plan, to achieve it.

The cyber threat landscape is changing quickly. The capability to respond fluidly, effectively, and without bottlenecks to any cyberattack is critical to preventing serious harm to your organization.
