P. 31
Think like a CFO
“One of the most fundamental skills supporting a CISO’s fiscal and fiduciary
responsibilities today is being proficient in translating the implications of security
into financial terms with the appropriate level of transparency and clarity. You
should be able to present your business case in a way that others on the
executive management team will understand.
“In effect, you have to be able to ‘think like a CFO,’ because your ability to
deliver results may depend on your ability to communicate what security costs
and what it delivers.”
