Abstract

High-quality and engaged cyber and security teams are essential to the successful operation and continued growth of any modern organisation. Deficiency in funding, lack of executive leadership and support and internal friction, however, can often present challenges to efficient and effective cyber and security programmes, limiting the responsiveness and capabilities of an organisation’s defenders. Therefore, building internal support and permission to execute is critical to enabling these teams to operate as the high-performing functions they need to be. To help facilitate cyber and security teams in achieving their goals, this paper presents suggestions and best practices to foster high-level support, dialogue and engagement throughout the organisation. The authors draw on their work building connections across functions in a large global institution as well as their previous experiences within other financial services organisations to provide concrete actions teams can take to refocus on the fundamentals and deliver immense benefits.
