Beyond the Budget: What CISOs Need to Understand About Their CFO Relationship

Every CISO has prepared for a budget conversation by building the strongest possible business case. The right data, the right framing, the right numbers. But the security leaders who consistently earn CFO support are not necessarily the ones with the most polished decks.
