In the new episode of “Life of a CISO” by Dr. Eric Cole, he emphasizes the critical importance of cybersecurity to executives. He highlights that most executives prioritize cybersecurity, placing it among their top concerns along with geopolitical issues and artificial intelligence. Dr. Cole explains that the primary reason these concerns persist is due to a lack of understanding. He encourages CISOs to bridge this gap by engaging more with executives, understanding business language, and clearly communicating cybersecurity risks and their potential impacts in financial terms. He stresses that CISOs must be seen as equal partners in the executive team, focusing on the financial growth and profitability of the company through strategic use of cybersecurity
