CISOs Investigate: Cybersecurity Debt

CISO-Authored Research

The report represents the collective wisdom of some of the cybersecurity industry’s most prominent leaders on a topic weighing heavily on organizations as technology comes to figure ever more centrally in their goals and operations.

Cybersecurity debt refers to the accumulation of neglected, outdated or insufficient security measures within an organization’s IT infrastructure, processes or policies, and the risk that entails. As cybersecurity debt compounds, it is creating a cyber-emergency by leaving organizations increasingly vulnerable to cyber attack.

The report outlines:
• What cybersecurity debt is and how it has evolved
• How outdated security measures create unseen risks
• Why cybersecurity debt is a business risk, not just a security issue
• Steps CISOs can take to measure, communicate, and reduce security debt

This vendor-neutral report was sponsored by Nagomi Security.

“Cybersecurity debt is one of the most pressing challenges security teams face today. For decades, security teams have layered new tools and processes on top of old ones without fully addressing underlying gaps. This report shares real-world insights from security leaders who understand that cybersecurity debt is a business risk, not just a security issue.”

-Executive Editor Bob Turner, CISO at Penn State University

“Cybersecurity debt is one of the biggest risks organizations have to grapple with today, and this report powerfully lays out this argument while charting a course to redress it. The fact that this report is vendor-neutral cements its impact.”

– Lock Langdon, VP & CISO at Aprio
