Typical Inputs For A Cyber Security Leader

A typical set of inputs to a cyber security leader...




Compliance: “You must encrypt these fields to be in compliance with standards.”

User: "Compliance says that these fields need to be encrypted. I'll put in a ticket."


Auditor: “We've discussed this with compliance. Our recommendation to the Board is that these fields are encrypted in the next quarter”

Test Lead: “Encrypting these fields will break all of our test cases and need months of rewrite.”

VP of Sales: “We’ll have months of new revenue delayed.”

CFO: “I’m not going to the Board to report a delay in revenue”

Virtual CISO: “Security should be built in and not sprayed on.”

DevOps Lead: "Security always breaks stuff."

CIO: "I’m hearing that security wants to break things? Why does security want to break things?"

Operations Lead: “Nothing better break, I have uptime to keep.”

Security Engineer: “Hey, has anyone looked at this ticket?”
