How Security Leaders can Demonstrate Value by Reducing Costs Securely – Lenny Zeltser – RSA23 #3
Economic uncertainty has forced IT and security leaders to be more cautious than ever when increasing spending and team size. Suh dynamics give CISOs and CIOs an opportunity to demonstrate value by going beyond “merely” defending the organization from threats. We can contribute toward the organization’s efforts to constrain costs by looking inward at existing tools and assets to understand deployment, usage, and value. We can do this by ensuring the company is making the most of what it already has – and eliminating the spend that’s not being utilized in the most effective way.
