Management Insights to see through the Maze

Communicating and driving real engagement with senior stakeholders around cyber security has always been one of the most complex aspects of the CISO role.

As digital estates become increasingly complex, attack surfaces are multiplied, and most organisations face the same challenge:

How do we make sense of the data we have to protect ourselves from cyber threats and drive real action around cyber security?

The Security Transformation Research Foundation, together with Corix Partners, Strata Security and a number of experts, have analysed the complex interactions between security data, metrics and dashboards and offer a number of management insights in a whitepaper which can be downloaded here.

Cyber Security: A Look Across Two Decades

Language of Security

The Security industry talks a lot about what could go wrong … but not so much about how to improve things

Research by The Security Transformation Research Foundation highlights significant trends in the way the language of security has evolved across the last 2 decades.

The Foundation analysed the semantics content of 17 annual “Global Information Security Surveys” from leading firm EY, spanning the period 2002-2018.

By looking at the frequency of keyword markers and how those frequencies have evolved over time, the research puts in evidence a clear demarcation between 2 periods.

Cyber Security: Not just an Equation between Risk Appetite, Compliance and Costs

cyber security ESG

Cyber security has risen as a key issue on the radar of virtually all organisations. As a recent AT Kearney report suggests, cyber-attacks have been topping executives’ lists of business risks for three straight years. In fact, the overwhelming majority of organisations have experienced some form of cyber-attack at some point over the past few years.

As every enterprise is becoming more and more data-driven, it is key for the Board to realize that cyber security is becoming a central tenet both of its core business and of its social impact and governance strategies.

A way to achieve this could be to frame cyber security as a formal and integral part of a company’s Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) strategy, and this is the proposition the Security Transformation Research Foundation analyses in its latest White Paper.

GDPR: What to expect up to May 25th and beyond


Throughout 2017, the GDPR has been successful in bringing up to the attention of boards,  senior and middle management a range of security and privacy issues which had not been properly on their radar up to now.

Law firms, consultancies – large and small – and even tech firms have all jumped on what they perceive to be a lucrative band wagon.
