How to Communicate Security Imperatives to the Business : The ...

August 4, 2013 9:00 pm Published by Kate Carson

Imagine, due to significant cost cutting, that vulnerability management has been ignored in your company.

Now, under new leadership, vulnerability management is reassessed and recent reports have highlighted 50,000+ vulnerabilities in the IT environment.

As a security expert, you worry that these vulnerabilities could be exploited by an attacker and lead to a major security incident.

It?s time to bring this to the attention of management?before it?s too late.

As critical as risk is, most security experts find it challenging to convey security imperatives to executive management.

Where do you start? What will give you the edge for getting buy-in to invest in security?

Global IT executive Jitender Arora and Dwayne Melancon, Tripwire?s CTO, will demonstrate the pitfalls and offer tips and tricks for communicating security initiatives with executives and non-financial stakeholders.

In this webcast you will:

• Learn how to start the conversation with the business (aligning to its initiatives v. NGFW)
• Prioritize your spending based on what?s important to the business
• Connect security controls with business initiatives (talk about SCM, VM, SIEM, etc.)
• Continuously measure progress and tie results back to the business objectives
