CISOs Now Key Drivers of Business Outcomes in Hybrid Work: Wavelink
Cybersecurity awareness is now a board-level concern, with Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) acting as gatekeepers. Wavelink, under the leadership of Ilan Rubin, appointed CEO by the board, emphasizes the evolving role of CISOs in driving business outcomes and user experiences in hybrid working environments.
CISOs must now contribute to better business outcomes through secure operations and good user experiences, according to Wavelink. To achieve this, they should prioritize visibility and implement monitoring solutions in hybrid working environments. This proactive approach helps manage risks and ensures a strong cybersecurity posture, crucial for business success in the modern digitized workplace.
CISOs can demonstrate the impact of information architecture on business outcomes by gaining access to performance monitoring. They must also align IT strategy with overarching business strategy to provide value to the organization. This involves managing risk while acting as leaders and business enablers. To reduce complexity, cost, and risk, CISOs can deliver better business outcomes by consolidating and integrating network architecture.
In the evolving role of the CISO, Ilan Rubin, CEO of Wavelink, suggests that CISOs should focus on delivering benefits beyond simple cybersecurity, with an expectation to improve user experience and productivity. By aligning IT strategy with business strategy, prioritizing visibility, and managing risks, CISOs can drive business results and facilitate a good user experience in hybrid working environments.
