- Gartner: How CIOs Can Craft Business-Driven Cybersecurity Narratives
CIOs often struggle to convey the true value of cybersecurity to their organizations and secure buy-in from C-suite stakeholders. Too often, cybersecurity is presented through technical metrics or fear-based scenarios, which can lead to disengagement or misaligned priorities at the executive level. To secure meaningful support from C-suite stakeholders, CIOs must shift their approach, crafting persuasive narratives that frame cybersecurity as a driver of business value rather than just a technology investment.

They must also build trust and support their teams during rapid change.
