My journey to finding Kovrr had been packed with headaches and puzzles that many CISOs still face today. Within a few short years of being the CISO at Avid, a content-creation software provider, I managed to implement tighter security controls and develop a framework that enabled objective progress measurement.
However, I constantly faced an impasse when attempting to communicate these achievements with the board. The technical terms of the CIS and NIST compliance metrics took a lot of work for me to translate and for them to get through. To learn more about my various efforts to facilitate a common understanding, read Part 1 and Part 2.
Finally, after one too many board meetings that ended in frustration, I met with Yakir Golan, CEO and Co-founder of Kovrr. In my first discussion with him, I knew that his team’s financial risk cyber quantification platform was the solution I had been looking for all along.
Providing innovative and more detailed insights into the financial impact of cyber events, I knew this tool would finally enable me to paint a picture of my team’s efforts in a way the higher management could understand.
