When it comes to keeping our computer systems safe from hackers and other cyber threats, it’s like making sure our homes have strong locks on the doors. Just like we invest in good locks to protect our homes, businesses spend money on cybersecurity to keep their data and online spaces safe.

But how do businesses know if the money they’re putting into cybersecurity is really working? It’s not always easy to tell. That’s why it’s important to have ways to measure how well our cybersecurity practices are working.

Imagine you’re the coach of a basketball team. You want to know if your team is getting better, so you keep track of points scored, games won, and other stats. This helps you understand what’s working and what’s not. For cybersecurity, we can put in place similar measures to see how well our digital defenses are doing.

Setting clear goals and ways to measure them is key. We should know exactly what we want our cybersecurity to stop and how to tell if it’s working. It’s also important to decide how much risk we’re okay with. No system is 100% safe, so we need to decide what level of threat we can handle without too much worry.

Regularly checking up on these stats and goals and reporting them to the right people helps everyone stay on top of the game. It’s a bit like having regular meetings with your basketball team to go over the game plan. By doing this, businesses can make sure they’re getting their money’s worth from their cybersecurity investments, and they can make better decisions on how to keep their information safe.
