BLUF: With a limited budget prioritizing these three key factors will highly reduce cyber
threats. Risk Assessment First, Prioritize Training, and Implement Secure Technology.
In a limited budget you want to do the best you can to keep the cybersecurity department
up and running. Not only just running, but efficient and protective. As a Chief
Information Security Officer this is how I will approach having a budgeted department.

1. Risk Assessment First
● I would start with this first to identify high value assets and the threats that
are most likely to happen, making sure that we are spending our money on
the most vulnerable systems.
2. Prioritize Training
● Human error is a big reason as to why cyber attacks happen. Due to this
reasoning I will put as much money as I can into training employees to
make it less likely that they perform an error.
3. Implement Secure Technology
● I would implement Firewalls, MFA, Email filtering, amd basic monitoring

In conclusion, having a balanced approach with this budget will provide a strong and safe
cyber department. This will better the chances of a cyber threat being contained or not
happening at all.
