Business Information Security Officers (BISOs) can play a vital role in helping organizations adopt a more strategic, collaborative, and integrated approach to cybersecurity. Advancing security programs is often challenging due to unclear direction and difficulty demonstrating business value, which can lead to tension between security and business teams. This disconnect may result in reactive rather than proactive risk management. However, by aligning security efforts with operational goals and fostering collaboration, organizations can overcome these obstacles and make meaningful progress toward both risk reduction and compliance.
