Navigating Innovation and Risk & Any Browser Can Be A Secure Enterprise Browser – Theresa Lanowitz, Andrew Harding – BSW #361
While CISOs are often responsible for technology implementation, they are not getting the support they need at a strategic level. The Accelerator found that 73% of CISOs expressed concern over cybersecurity becoming unwieldy, requiring risk-laden tradeoffs, compared to only 58% of both CIOs and CTOs.
Understanding the C-suite’s business priorities is critical for shaping effective cybersecurity strategies. Identifying how these essential roles look at the business helps to ensure alignment among CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs, as well as the teams that report into them. It’s a key first step towards bolstering cyber defenses, especially with the CEO and Board support.

Employees spend up to 80% of their working hours in a web browser, and threat actors are increasingly leveraging browsers to target users and initiate attacks. Disrupting the tool employees use for 80% of their job would have massive impact on productivity. Rather than ripping and replacing, enterprises can turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser.
