It extends to all levels of staffing – the most valuable resources to maintain and upcil in tight times. At that point, the founder and CEO of Cyber Point Advisory, Partial Siso DD Budhahto says that maintaining and lifting human resources should take prejudice to buy new technology. This, she combines, is an important way to do more with less.
For example, in a previous CISO role, Budiharto recruited “Ambassadors” response to various departments – communication, legal, procurement, human resources and accounting. “They loved it because they learned new skills and were part of something big,” she notes. “And, when we were killed with a BEC scam, they were there, trained and ready to step. They were very skilled and energetic. Now we are talking about some ROIs.”
In another case, he trained the procurement team to ask a list of fundamental cyber security questions of potential new vendors, saving valuable time for the security team. Often, these cross-related people become security champions, say Budharto. Some decide to expand their experience in cyber security. And with new ideas, new minds also strengthen security ceremonies and ashar in innovation.
