The Case for Lean Cybersecurity Leadership

Organizations concerned with cybersecurity risk may dedicate more managerial resources to the issue, but new research finds that this has the potential to heighten rather than reduce risk. Individuals in senior cybersecurity were found to routinely overestimate their capabilities relative to people in similar roles in peer organizations — an overconfident stance that can be dangerous in a fast-moving threat landscape.

Abstract

Organizations concerned with cybersecurity risk may dedicate more managerial resources to the issue, but new research finds that this has the potential to heighten rather than reduce risk. Individuals in senior cybersecurity were found to routinely overestimate their capabilities relative to people in similar roles in peer organizations — an overconfident stance that can be dangerous in a fast-moving threat landscape.
