What are your thoughts on how we deliver value from a financial perspective? Most of my projects are driven by compliance and often there’s resistance for organizations to invest in cyber due to cost.

One of our clients was facing a monetary fine from Visa. Our remediation efforts and op models gave them a year to get shit right.

Data loss prevention solution was quantified by putting a value to each record impacted by the vulnerable assets.

That makes sense so it sounds like a process of identifying the right data points to use and then figuring out the associated cost if a breach or incident were to occur. I can see that. I’m probably coming off a bit naive. I haven’t really been involved in the financial business justifications of cyber sec yet and it’s been something I’ve been interested in. The questions I sometimes ponder is how do we deliver value to the business and why should we keep investing in cyber if it’s just a cost center?

Your compliance remediation projects reduce cost and save the company from brand and financial damage... not understanding the question

Thanks. What I’m trying to get at is how we quantify risk from a financial perspective. Sure I get that we save the organization money but how do we actually come up with the data to prove that. Curious to know if anyone’s been on a project like this.

Curious about current UTIL targets at other firms.

For someone starting out in cyber, what resources will you recommend in terms of getting my foot into the door? Most vital skills to most imp certs? TIA!

As a 1st year Senior Consultant/Associate, is it still a good idea to get Security+ as a generalist security cert? Or should studying and focus be directed toward obtaining the CISSP or GIAC GSEC (or equivalent) at this point? I don’t have any certifications and I’m wondering which route is best
