The Finance Director sounded frustrated and exhausted. Our IT auditors had been trying to tell her about an obscure yet important data backup problem that affected SOX compliance. But her background was in accounting, not technology, and the technical information made her eyes glaze over.
And that’s where the power of storytelling comes in. As a CISO or other security leader, you need buy-in from the other executives at your organization in order to spin up new cybersecurity initiatives.
But, frankly, cybersecurity is a field filled with jargon and far too much technical information for most people to understand, especially when each leader is hyper-focused on their own business initiatives to keep the organization afloat, profitable, and competitive.
Your job is to keep your other business leaders engaged in learning what challenges you’re up against, while presenting them with viable solutions to help manage the cybersecurity risks your organization faces.
