Using cybersecurity metrics can prove your value as a function, but where do you start? Using the Center for Internet Security’s Critical Security Controls can help security leaders self-assess their organization’s cybersecurity maturity, assess the baseline of where the program is at today, and create a future roadmap to mature the security program. Assessing a cybersecurity program will, not only, provide security leaders with meaningful goals and directives, but it’s also a valuable tool to bring back to the C-suite.
