These days, most businesses, regardless whether they are large or small, have to deal with cyber threats. In order to operate at a more rapid pace and with more confidence, experts advise organizations to establish a risk framework.

Dwayne Melancon, chief technology officer at Tripwire, explains that chief information security officers from around the world are facing three main challenges when it comes to enhancing their security posture.

“The first is that they must appeal to non-technical stakeholders to obtain or maintain their resources; the second is that communicating the business value of security is critical; and the third is that they are struggling to find the right tools — visuals, metrics, and vocabulary — to convey the value of their efforts,” Melancon noted.

The expert highlights the fact that the large number of data breaches has made even non-technical executives realize that security is important.

However, for efficient risk management, a balance must be found between security and the business process. How can this be achieved? Take a look at the video and find out.
