As cybersecurity leaders are increasingly getting a handle on the first stage of the pandemic, CISOs are now shifting to anticipating how the business environment will be affected by new conditions. They are adapting to incorporate these expectations of the next normal into both current cybersecurity activities and long-term cyber-risk strategies.

As customers demand greater choice in their interactions with companies, cybersecurity teams can add value by helping their institutions reimagine the secure customer journey.

In the next normal, cybersecurity will be embedded into new processes and technologies as a strategic imperative rather than as an afterthought. Because of the changes, cybersecurity needs to understand how their business creates value. Because of that, they should be able to modify priorities to reflect new business requirements, opportunities, and constraints.

Don't let cybersecurity compromises make you vulnerable to emotional distress. Optimizing your cybersecurity plan will save you a lot of time, money, and emotional distress in the long run.
