Course Summary

You know that a robust cybersecurity program is vital to the success of any organization—large or small. In an ideal world, CISOs have ample funding for staffing and well-qualified candidates are readily available. But a post-pandemic world is not ideal—with the recent recession and talent shortage, qualified personnel are difficult to find. How will you ensure that your organization has the financial support and staffing to sustain your cybersecurity needs? As a security leader in your business, you must determine how much to budget for cybersecurity, assess where to allocate those funds, and ensure you have enough skilled professionals in place to protect your organization's digital assets and infrastructure.

Key Takeaways:

• • How to assess your existing security posture to define the goals and objectives of your cybersecurity budget
• • Setting goals using the SMART framework and communicating your needs to stakeholders
• • How to find the right talent and keep your employees engaged
