Cybersecurity is difficult to get right. On the one hand, CISOs are very much impacted by a highly volatile threat landscape. The tools, tactics and techniques used by cyber-criminals to attack their organisation evolve fast to exploit newly found weaknesses and take advantage of wider trends. The recent spike in crypto-jacking, for example, came about only after the value of digital currencies soared. Yet on the other hand, security leaders must be more measured. Only by stepping back and taking a more considered view of the industry untroubled by immediate threats can strategic, longer term decisions be made in the best interests of the business.
