When I bring up the topic of security ratings to my CISO colleagues, I typically get one of two reactions. The first half complains about misattribution of issues along with reporting fix times (although accuracy has improved). But the other half understand how to leverage this technology to their benefit to make their jobs easier and their organizations safer. Read below to get under the hood of how to leverage the evolving application of this technology to secure your supply chain.

CISOs and security leaders are constantly being reminded that cyber risk is now a business risk. And at the same time, organizations are realizing the financial implications of not having cyber expertise on their boards.

This article was originally published in Cybersecurity Insiders. In our increasingly digitally connected world, cybersecurity risks are at an all time high and only growing. With this in mind, businesses are beginning to embrace and understand, if they didn’t before, just how essential a healthy governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program is to their organization’s overall success.

As a CISO, securing web applications and ensuring their resilience against evolving cyber threats is a non-negotiable priority.

While most of the reports I cover on this blog are typically surveys of those "in the trenches," we do like to cover analysis of c-suite perspectives. The CISO Report from Splunk provides some interesting insight into experienced cyber attacks and their impact.
