As a Chief Information Security Officer hat with a limited budget in an organization, how would one go about balancing the tradeoff of training and additional cybersecurity technology while allocating said limited funds?

Write Up – The Human Factor in Cybersecurity

In order to balance the trade of training and cybersecurity in case of a limited budget, I
would personally transfer monetary reserves towards an inclusive cyber technology preparation program as well as one with a strong security foundation.
I recognize that cybersecurity dangers are not as they were before as they were generated by innovative vulnerabilities but by human mistakes mainly. Because of this I acknowledge as the Chief
Information Security Officer that it is significant to enforce and contribute to both fields of preparation and innovation towards this issue to avoid risks.
When it comes to the cyber technology investment aspect, I would prioritize working.
with an infrastructure that is fortified with the implementation of a rigid security basis. Such
implementations could be composed of firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and
endpoint security arrangements. Through such implementation’s possible potential threats such as
malware, phishing and hacking assaults can be averted. Detection measures put in place moreover.
could contribute to gaining insight on possible blueprints of future threat occurrences as well.
When it comes to the training/preparation aspect, designating a portion of the funds for training.
would be critical in covering the education, briefing and standard/policy aspect that employees.
must know for an efficient running infrastructure. This could moreover combat the issue of
humans being the number one cause behind cybersecurity dangers. Eg: negligence/ignorance. Preparation problems would also include fortifications from entry level to senior authorities.
including, emails management, device management, network management and even password
management techniques.
By and large, my approach as the Chief Information Security Officer in my handling of
human factors in cybersecurity would be through preparation and innovation, to relieve both.
inside and outside danger that could pose a threat to my infrastructure and decrease budget.
