4 reasons why cybersecurity is important for CFO

For companies worldwide, data security and privacy continue

to be among the top challenges faced by organizations. Cyber

attacks can have a devastating impact on the company’s

finances and reputation which is the CFO’s core responsibility.


For this purpose, the CFO works closely with cybersecurity

professionals. It not only improves cyber risk management

but also helps him in various other aspects of his job.


Here is how cybersecurity plays an important role for CFO’s.


1- Aligning business and security

CFO works closely with the security team which helps him

to ensure that the cybersecurity strategy aligns with the

overall business strategy.


2- Technological understanding

Working with C-suite broadens the technical understanding

of the CFO. It helps them to improvise their risk management skills.


3- Regulation and breaches

In case of any breach, the CFO, with the help of cybersecurity,

understands the extent of the damage. It helps him to avoid

heavy penalties and fines in the future.


4- Extending cyber risk management 

CFO’s cybersecurity contributions can extend beyond investment

and risk management. CFO’s are even needed to ensure data

security and quantify cyber risk for third-party risk management.


The role of the CFO is evolving with a rapidly changing external

environment. CFO’s risk management skills complete the

cybersecurity process. Hence, helping and sharpening their

skills and expertise.
