Communicating the value of cyber security to the board can be challenging, as cyber security is often overlooked until a crisis occurs. To effectively convey this value, CISOs can utilize strategies like building a coherent cyber risk narrative, creating visually engaging board-ready reports, quantifying risk in financial terms, emphasizing business alignment, and showcasing return on investment. By crafting narratives that highlight the negative impact of cyber threats on the business, using visual aids in reports to illustrate the effectiveness of mitigation strategies, quantifying risks in financial terms to align with executive perspectives, emphasizing how cyber security aligns with broader business goals, and showcasing measurable returns on investments, CISOs can ensure that the board sees cyber security not just as a cost center but as a valuable contributor to business resilience and continuity
