3 Practical Actions for CISOs
- Evaluate Government‑Grade Security Frameworks: Examine the security architectures and operational practices governments are adopting to inform enhancements in your own enterprise security stack.
- Prioritize End‑to‑End Support Models: Ensure security vendor engagements include deployment, integration, and ongoing support, not just point products, a growing expectation in mission‑critical environments.
- Monitor Public Sector Trends: Track government cybersecurity procurement trends to anticipate technology shifts and vendor innovations that could influence enterprise risk and partner selection strategies.
