1. Why the CFO is the Ideal Champion
for Cybersecurity: Part 2
#ConnectedFutures

2. “The CFO is used to dealing with hugely sensitive
information, investor relations information, financial
reporting, and FCC compliance. They're all clearly in
their realm of expertise but I want to hear your view
on how this is going to pan out… the data that’s
coming in there. What do you think?”

Information Security Forum (ISF)

3. “First of all, the CFOs have already started to go
through this education process. They’ve got to
understand because it’s just inherent in their roles,
the values that are at stake… and that value is
typically tied to IT and data.”

Security and Collaboration Services Group

4. “… all of that creates the need to have a very tight
relationship between the CFO, CISO, CSO and even
legal to understand the value of IT. Which is
something that the CFOs know extremely well and
then now bring that back to relate to the other side
of the aisles, on the cybersecurity side, I think it
creates the opportunity to put strategy in place.”

5. “Cohesion in the boardroom is absolutely
fundamental because leadership needs to
begin at the top. There has to be someone
who is calling the shots there who is really
able to direct security across the enterprise. I
see this as being extremely important moving
forward.”
