Episode 23 — Define Cybersecurity Objectives That Truly Support Business Outcomes (Task 19)
This episode teaches how to define cybersecurity objectives that align with business outcomes, because exam scenarios often require prioritization decisions that balance risk, cost, and operational continuity. You will learn to translate business goals into security objectives that are specific, measurable, and defensible, such as reducing time to detect, improving recovery readiness, or limiting exposure of sensitive data. We will explore how poorly written objectives create confusion, lead to misaligned controls, and complicate incident response when teams do not share a common target. You will also hear examples of mapping objectives to metrics and evidence, so leadership decisions are supported by data rather than intuition. For the exam, you will practice selecting the objective that best fits the scenario’s constraints and stakeholders rather than choosing generic “improve security” statements.
