Companies’ information security teams are under more demand than ever and, worse, they need to staff a host of new roles to cope with that demand. However, one cause of this staff shortage doesn’t come from a lack of skilled talent available but from the fact that information security managers tend to hire from homogeneous talent pools, typically rewarding narrow sets of highly technical skills.

Most people think of risk quantification as the practice of assigning a dollar value to information risk, but even ranking different types of risk into an ordinal scale (first, second, third, etc) involve a degree of quantification. While most situations call for less precision, there are some information risk topics in which a more rigorous and quantified approach is appropriate, not least to justify Information Security’s reasoning for choosing one strategy over another.

The way companies create, sell, and market products, and run the operations to do so, is increasingly based on the use of technology and digital information (see chart 1), and this trend of digitization will only continue more quickly across the next five years. And digitization, fueled by business-led IT (line managers initiating and funding their own technology projects), places untenable pressure on the way that IT information security teams work. MORE
Information security teams can spend all the money in their budget on fancy technology but it’s for naught if employees don’t use it. Unsurprisingly then, given the amount of money currently being spent by firms in keeping their data and their systems secure , information security teams have almost doubled their spending on employee awareness in the past three years, from $1,597 per 1000 IT users in 2013 to $3,086 per 1000 IT users in 2016 , according to CEB data.

But for now, chief information security officers (CISOs) should take three core lessons on board. The CISO’s role in M&A should expand : When it comes to M&A, most CISOs tend to spend their time trying to get a head start on post-deal integration, revise the information security team’s strategic plan, or assess the acquisition target’s information security practices.

Although the threat management tools and techniques available to chief information security officers (CISOs) have also improved, this still leaves much to do. Information security teams, however, collect intelligence on their adversaries in a series of “silos,” typically focusing solely on technical threat intelligence. However, by the time information security teams respond, attackers have most likely already caused a lot of damage. MORE
