Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) are taking on greater responsibilities in cybersecurity, recognizing that safeguarding against cyber threats and data breaches is essential for maintaining financial stability and protecting sensitive information. As organizations undergo digital transformation, CFOs must collaborate with Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to integrate cybersecurity into the broader business strategy, emphasizing proactive risk management.
