For at least a decade now, career-minded security leaders have well understood the importance of effective communication with the board and CEO. CISOs know they must gain the buy-in of these decision makers to successfully instill a security-minded culture at their organization — not to mention to greenlight enough funds for an effective cybersecurity budget.

The problem is that most CISOs today still can’t turn that awareness into action. While CISOs are communicating with the board and the C-suite more often than ever, they’re still struggling to craft the right narratives that help them communicate risk to the board and drive meaningful collaboration between the security team and the rest of the business.
