Is digital security a market for lemons?
Although information security has a long history, it wasn’t really top of mind of senior management, board or other employees until late 2010. A “security professional” became a real job and market demand has grown ever since. Awareness about security risks increased significantly. The thriving forces for this were major security breaches such as Snowden, NotPetja and WannaCry shocking the world, but also regulators demanding companies to protect their critical assets, including non-tangible ones such as data. As a result of this, we can now state it has the board's attention by default.

eMBA Electives Webinar: Deepfakes
Join the first webinar of the 2021 Executive Electives Series: Thriving in a Digital World on 19 January 2020 @11:30 about Deepfakes. Our information ecosystem has become dangerous and corrupt.

Get the biggest bang for your security buck
Over the last seven years, our role as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has drastically changed. According to our Microsoft Outlook Analytics client, more than fifty percent of our mail is spam from cyber security suppliers, trying to grab our attention by selling fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD). Over the last decade, we’ve seen this industry explode with self-proclaimed “cyber pros” and fuzzy vendors in the cyber domain. Is this because industry strategy agencies like IDC, Gartner, and Forrester predict that security spending keeps on increasing? Or is it because the cyber consumer just follows the herd?
The latest figures indicate that an astonishing 22% of the IT budget is allocated to cyber and information security. Our own experience is that dialogues with C-level execs nowadays ask: Are we doing the right stuff, and are we doing this stuff right? How do we measure and monitor our return on security investments (ROSI)? And, where do we get the ‘biggest bang for the buck’. It’s a dialogue that very few suppliers actively participate in, while interacting with their CISO customers.
