Businesses should be mitigating risk and maximizing return. A common issue we see when risk managers meet Cyber Security is a heavy emphasis on the former with little regard for the latter.

Cyber Security should not be limited to denying access, hiding from new technologies or preventing new procedures. These are mere risk avoidance.

Instead, Cyber Security should be about risk management.

Cyber Security should be about using technology to make the organization as effective and efficient as possible while weighing the risks against the benefits.

We are big fans of those who point out possible downsides, but their job is to support business decisions, not make them for you. Consideration of cost without regard to benefit might make you safer, but it certainly makes you inflexible and prone to opportunity cost.

We can help you write and enforce policies which balance risk and reward. You can have safety and innovation, if you are careful.

A critical component to being flexible and protected is the constant re-examination of the trade-offs. That only happens when the culture supports it. We can help with that too.
