Introduction
If I was the chief information security officer I would start off by recognizing the type of company I’m a part of. Certain companies need more training and others need more technology. Newer companies may need more training to start off due to their large number of new employees. Older companies may need newer additional technology in order to keep up with their competitors.
Importance of Training
Employees that receive effective security awareness training learn how to practice good cyber hygiene, comprehend the security risks connected with their behavior, and recognize cyberattacks they could come across online or by email. This is very important for all companies. Employees should invest an efficient amount of money to get the training they need in order to verify the company’s rights and safety.
Additional Cybersecurity Technology
Cybersecurity is essential because it protects all forms of data from loss and theft. Intellectual property, personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive data, protected health information (PHI), individually identifiable information (PII), sensitive data, and corporate and government information systems are all included. Today’s world is more dependent on technology than ever before, as you can see by looking around. The advantages of this range from nearly immediate access to information on the Internet to the contemporary conveniences offered by concepts and technology for smart home automation as well as business safety. It is very crucial for companies to keep up with their technology so they can be the most secure.
Conclusion
The CISO is an important person who makes impactful cyber decisions. If I was the CISO I would use my company’s data to help me make my decisions on where our money goes. If we need more training I will invest it in training. If we need more technology then I will invest more money into it. I feel it depends on what your company needs and how it will make the company most successful.
