Enterprise security is viewed foremost as a technology challenge,and not a business issue.As a result, less than half of security leaders view security as a risk-management issue and admit they do not understand their organization's business issues and competitive environment. In this context, security becomes a check box,an afterthought once the business requirements of speed, optimization,automation, innovation, and other business issues are addressed. Enterprises predominantly rely on qualitative guidance to determine vulnerability base don estimates that lump together both frequent and rare large losses. But this risk assessment model fails to provide accurate direction, leading companies to size their security investments incorrectly and to obtain insufficient cybersecurity insurance protection. Admittedly, while it is impossible for any company to eliminate cyber risks completely, enterprises can do much better.The problem is that too many organizations determine their risk postures based on an incomplete or inaccurate understanding of their vulnerabilities. Companies typically calculate risks in terms of operational risks,focusing on direct revenue losses rather than a broader set of factors. The reality is that cybercriminals can harm an enterprise even if they exact no financial gain.In a digital world where the attack surface is rapidly expanding and pushing the edges of the network into new territories,enterprises must rethink cybersecurity strategies. The breadth of devices and data involved, the number of applications residing in the cloud combined with the amount of data crisscrossing on-premise and cloud systems, as well as the ability to employ advanced threat intelligence technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming how enterprises think about cybersecurity.
