Tim Sattler, CISO of Jungheinrich AG, emphasizes the importance of connecting security efforts with business strategy by participating in the company’s AI Center of Excellence. He states that a CISO must look beyond risks to see the opportunities AI can bring, advocating for a balanced perspective on risk and reward. On his part, Sattler’s involvement illustrates that security teams play a crucial advisory role in guiding business direction, particularly concerning emerging technologies like quantum computing.
The article underscores a concerning gap between the perception and reality of CISO involvement in strategic decision-making. Research indicates that only 13% of CISOs participate early in urgent strategic decisions, with many struggling to communicate the value of security beyond risk mitigation. Additionally, there remains a disconnect in how security is viewed by board members compared to CISOs, illustrating the need for improved collaboration and understanding of business priorities. Importantly, successful integration of security into business strategy requires proactive involvement at all stages of business initiatives, highlighting the necessity to bridge these critical areas for sustainable growth.
