Interesting episode on tricky topic - lots to unpack. (Mark, attached is the answer to your phishing question - yes, about 4% always click - courtesy of great analysis by @cyentiainst). Intelligent adversaries, Low target acquisition costs, abundant supply of vulns, etc.

The challenge for #security teams remains how to add security at the speed of #digitaltransformation. Organizations are doing it, though. https://t.co/OGv1d5Yxha @StacyTC @IDC_DigiSec @SchneiderElec

I don't think any of this is controversial when put in these terms, yet we sometimes neglect these points.

[Pete Lindstrom @CyberLindstrom]

I was asked my opinion on a recent article about security spending. What I said:

I think pursuing efficiency and effectiveness, maximizing returns, and prioritizing the allocation of resources are fundamental tenets of running a business - that includes cybersecurity. 1/2

[Pete Lindstrom @CyberLindstrom]

I think companies should explicitly measure their security efficacy and compare it to their total costs. I can guarantee you that the CISO's boss and their bosses are making their own similar judgments about the cybersecurity program. 2/2

Good morning Utrecht! Almost time to start the #IDCsecurity19 conference for @IDCBenelux where I'm honoured to be delivering the opening keynote. Is your security team a force for business enablement? I'll share three themes to help you get there.

Many folks struggle with their cybersecurity metrics program. We recommend first developing a framework for thinking about your key objectives. Here are our IDC Cybersecurity Objectives that form the basis of KPIs that align with them.

Consumers are willing to pay $12 a month for total privacy but would charge others $500 a month for total access.

[Pete Lindstrom @CyberLindstrom]

A growing challenge in a world where success supposedly means "nothing happens (not true)." We do, however, need to get smarter about measuring the effectiveness of our programs. Currently, there is little rhyme or reason to spending (see chart).

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Finance chiefs are struggling to figure out how much is enough when it comes to spending on cybersecurity https://t.co/A299QAczzp

In my latest column, I talk about IDC's process for compiling shipment volumes (and market-share data), in an age where many companies won't share this information. https://t.co/uzFWFZDXHE
