Given recent changes in the financial posture for many organizations which introduced challenges from rising interest rates, bank failures, and dissipating venture capital, how do security leaders look at budgets differently?

Episode Notes

Given recent changes in the financial posture in nearly every economy, many organizations are faced with challenges from rising interest rates, bank failures, and dissipating venture capital. With this, and other fiscal issues that may be surfacing, how do security leaders look at budgets differently? In this session, we’ll explore:

• How, where — and on which technologies — are organizations spending their money earmarked for cybersecurity?
• How do they know they are spending the right amount of money in the right places at the right times?
• How do security teams organize their thoughts, plans, and budget requests — and how do they present them to executive staff — to ensure they are speaking to these fiscal challenges they face in the context of the rest of the business?
