July 2023 TRU Intelligence Briefing

Security leaders are feeling the heat and prioritizing security spending with demonstrable cyber resilience as a key indicator of success.  

However, a lack of outcome-focused, centralized metrics and KPIs makes it difficult to prove the value security creates. Therefore, they must establish security outcome-oriented metrics that tie directly to overall organizational success. 

In this webinar, Tia Hopkins, our Chief Cyber Resilience Officer & Field CTO, speaks to Greg Crowley, our CISO, and Jeff Pollard, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester, to provide actionable insights to help security leaders build a future-ready cybersecurity program. Topics covered include: 

- How economic instability heightens urgency around prioritizing cybersecurity investments and initiatives 
- The top priorities for security leaders today, including security tool consolidation, cloud-native capabilities, data-informed decision-making, and improved operationalization of threat intelligence  
- How future-ready solutions such as MDR, XDR, and security operations center as a service (SOCaaS) can help security leaders demonstrate cyber resilience to key stakeholders  
- Why security outcome-oriented metrics and KPIs must tie directly to overall organizational success and be understandable to non-security stakeholders

June 2023 TRU Intelligence Briefing

The mean downtime cost for organizations experiencing a cyber incident can be $225K/day – in addition to costs incurred from fines and legal fees, loss of customer loyalty and reputational damage, higher incident resolution costs, and more. 

As cybercriminals continue to evolve their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to deploy ransomware and conduct data breaches, it’s critical for security leaders to ensure they are prepared for any potential cyberattack to reduce downtime and prevent business disruption. 

That’s why the least desirable time to meet your incident response (IR) provider for the first time is when you’re responding to an incident. 

In this session, Larry Gagnon, Senior Vice President Security Services & Incident Response at eSentire, discusses why traditional pre-breach preparation strategies may not be enough to ensure optimal response. Larry also shares his tactical recommendations for: 

- High value, inexpensive breach preparation strategies that work 

- Incident Response readiness that maximizes cyber resilience and reduces operational downtime 

- Quantifying savings and time-to-value for incident response

May 2023 TRU Intelligence Briefing

Given the rising complexity of cyber threats, security leaders need to ensure their teams have the 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities they need to build cyber resilience, reduce operational downtime, and prevent revenue disruption for their organization. However, a constrained budget and lack of skilled cybersecurity staff has made it difficult to undertake these capabilities in-house. 

Although you can look to outsourcing these capabilities to an external MDR provider, investing in MDR is a business decision that needs alignment with your CEO or CFO, but that conversation can be challenging to have during a recession when most departments are facing budget cuts. 

So how can you build alignment with your business leaders to effectively demonstrate the value of MDR? 

Tune into our fireside chat with Tia Hopkins, Chief Cyber Resilience Officer & Field CTO, and Greg Crowley, CISO at eSentire, to learn about: 

- How to present cyber risks as business risks 

- How MDR helps build cyber resilience and delivers ROI that traditional MSSPs can’t match 

- How to make the case for MDR that aligns with metrics that finance leaders report on
