This IDC PeerScape discusses how a company can measure its current security state and develop a road map with buy-in from key stakeholders."Building a security program to secure a company is a core CISO responsibility. What that looks like and how to achieve it are unique to each company and depend on many internal and external factors. However, the approaches taken to understand the current security state and improve security in a planned manner with a road map can be used by all companies and professionals building a security program," says Nick Kirtley, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs.
