Cybersecurity Management for Boards: Metrics that Matter
If your cyber dashboard looks like a tech manual, you’re flying blind. Real leaders measure resilience, not patch counts.
Ransomware doesn’t schedule a meeting with your CISO. It hits your core systems, deletes your backups and leaks your data.
Patch counts, firewall logs and threat feeds bury them. None of which says anything about business impact or recovery time. This gap between technical noise and executive insight is dangerous.
We expect boards to govern cybersecurity the same way they oversee finance: with clarity, accountability and foresight. But you can’t govern what you can’t measure.
Cyber resilience metrics translate cyber risk into something boards can act on: financial exposure, operational resilience and readiness for tomorrow’s threats.
