Heads-up CISOs - there's a major paradigm shift coming that will change how you plan and execute your adaptive cybersecurity defense strategy.
It's a new tech category, mentioned by Gartner for the first time recently in a paper authored by a team spearheaded by analyst Lawrence Pingree.
While Gartner includes Holistic Cyber as a provider for CDPO, we did more than just create the first CDPO platform, SAGE, we originated and pioneered the CDPO concept.
Over a series of information sessions with Gartner analysts in the past year, Holistic Cyber explained our vision for SAGE, a new platform that is a departure from the limitations of cybersecurity planning methodologies like spreadsheets or pen and paper.
Gartner understood our vision and the new category for CDPO technology was born.
Understanding the need for CDPO. The need for a major shift in cyber defense planning is evident.
New SEC regulations regarding risk management and incident reporting place immense pressure on CISOs to make sure they have documented their decision making process and gotten buy-in from the business decision makers.
The traditional methods for cyber defense planning result in static documents that are obsolete as soon as they are produced.
These are enough to rapidly adapt to changing realities such as budget fluctuations, and updated business goals, and are usually created without sufficient input of experts, both human and AI. What to look for in a CDPO solution.
Here are the essential features to look for in when selecting a CDPO platform.
Working together in one platform, these two can help you create a powerful plan that is adaptable and sophisticated.
Dynamic Budget Optimization: A good CDPO platform provides instant feedback on the full ramifications of budget changes, surpassing the limitations of paper and pen or traditional spreadsheets.
The ability to test various budget scenarios and cost-cutting decisions will allow you to consider numerous possible options quickly and get the most out of your cybersecurity budget.
A good CDPO, such as SAGE, can incorporate and analyze different types of data from numerous disparate sources and help you integrate it into a comprehensive strategy.
CDPO In Action with SAGE. SAGE is a CDPO platform that acts as the CISOs co-pilot, providing contextualized information to help you make informed decisions, based on real data, and confidently communicate with management and business decision makers.
As pioneers leading the charge into this new era of cybersecurity planning, we invite you to experience SAGE for yourself.
