Cyber Trends for CISO’s Part 3
In the final episode of this three-part series on cyber trends, Dr. Eric Cole dives deep into how key cybersecurity principles can apply beyond the digital world, extending to personal growth, relationships, and business success. He emphasizes the importance of clarity—whether it’s knowing where you're headed in your cybersecurity career or in life. Drawing from personal experiences, Dr. Cole highlights how having a clear direction and measuring progress through metrics is critical for achieving goals, both in security and personal endeavors. He shares how confusion and frustration often arise from a lack of clarity, urging listeners to consistently evaluate their path to ensure they're on the right track.
Dr. Cole also touches on the challenges in the cybersecurity industry, particularly the lack of metrics, and the necessity for CISOs to communicate more effectively with executives. He stresses the power of simple, consistent communication—such as reporting the number of attempted attacks blocked weekly—to bridge the gap between technical teams and business leaders. As a solution, he advocates for adopting clear metrics in cybersecurity to drive maturity in the field, equipping organizations to better manage threats and align security efforts with business goals.
