Turn challenges into opportunities

What can you achieve?

Our systematic approach to enhancing the measurement, management, and governance of your cyber program can help you improve your team's effectiveness and your organization's overall security posture.

What's holding you back?

Cyber programs can be difficult to administer. CISOs and CIOs are challenged with navigating a hyper-complex business environment with an expanding and dynamic threat landscape. Existing management practices often focus on technical issues rather than business goals.

Why should you move forward fast?

Cyber leaders spend a lot of time fighting fires, but they also need to focus on improving management practices and processes. Failure to do so may create many problems.

An integrated approach to cyber program governance and optimization

Deloitte takes a broad, interdisciplinary approach to help you mature and better govern your cyber program. Our cybersecurity consulting services combine in-depth knowledge of threat actors and security technologies, deep business and industry knowledge, and extensive experience developing and implementing cyber program strategies and organizational models.

Strategy, governance, and program transformation to help reach your maturity goals

Help you develop a cyber strategy that is aligned to and shapes business objectives, clearly articulate future-state goals, and outline investment priorities for the road ahead. Revamp policies, standards, and processes to address the ever-evolving cyber risk landscape while establishing a target operating model (TOM) to improve operational efficiency.

Strategic sourcing and procurement to efficiently operate and grow

Help you develop talent sourcing strategies to bring your TOM “to life” as you transform your cyber capabilities. We provide foundry staffing models to rapidly deploy highly skilled personnel to execute functions in your TOM and/or cyber transformation office, for defined transition periods and ongoing “business as usual” operations.

Risk quantification to prioritize investments and allocation

Help you quantify your organization's risk posture through collecting system telemetry, synthesizing cyber metrics, performing analytics to develop risk insights, and estimating the probability and impact of potential security events in order to determine financial and mission risk metrics such as value at risk (VaR) or expected loss.

Engage with different stakeholders on cyber risk including the board, executive management, risk management, and other leaders.

With Deloitte as your advisor, you can be better positioned to improve your cyber management capabilities one area at a time or execute a broad transformation of your cyber organization.

Governance and optimization in action

FILTERS ALL

Consumer

Consumer companies retain customer trust

To keep the good will of customers, consumer companies should be sensitive to privacy, health, environmental, and safety issues in addition to security, third-party risks, and insider threats. These organizations can systematically assess and quantify the associated range of risks they face and incorporate these findings into their cyber strategy.

Energy, Resources & Industrials

Energy firms get cyber and OT security on the same page

Energy, resources, and industrial companies are integrating IT networks with industrial control systems that have different security requirements and capabilities. But IT security and operational technology (OT) managers often have different perspectives on risks. By developing an enterprise cyber strategy, those integrating IT and OT systems can get stakeholders on the same page and focused on mitigating threats to the broader organization.

Financial Services

Institutions prepare for SEC cyber risk disclosure rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new rules requiring public companies to disclose policies and procedures for identifying and managing cyber risks, as well as management's role in assessing and managing those risks. To prepare, financial institutions are upgrading their cyber governance practices and operating models and documenting their processes for collecting cyber program data and presenting it to executives.

Government & Public Services

Agencies make data-based decisions with cyber risk quantification

Many government agencies embrace cyber risk quantification (CRQ) to estimate risks and probable dollar costs for different threat types to determine where to invest cyber program resources. They use the data to prioritize and enhance cyber capabilities / controls.

Life Sciences & Health Care

Health care organizations manage cyber risk exposure through health care system M&As

For health care organizations, cyber risk exposure can increase during the merger and acquisition (M&A) process. By applying CRQ, the acquiring entity can get a clear idea of the target health care information systems environment, focusing on the critical business services that hold confidential data. By specifically quantifying the liability of a data loss scenario, the business case for acquisition can be made clearer to decision makers.

Technology, Media & Telecommunications

Tech companies improve efficiency and cut costs

Technology, media, and telecom companies often use cloud technology to provide and remotely support products, services, and content. They have invested heavily in cyber processes to protect these critical activities, but many have evolved haphazardly in response to pressing circumstances. These companies are using advanced analytics and cost recovery techniques to identify and remove inefficiencies, duplication, and unnecessary expenses in their cyber processes.
