During the RSA Conference, the world's largest cybersecurity fair in San Francisco, Cegeka launches a cyber resilience dashboard as part of the Cegeka Security Advisory Framework (CSAF). This framework combines assessments and advice in a modular approach that supports organizations in continuously improving their security strategy.

The new dashboard translates those insights into a clear cyber resilience score and provides a snapshot of risks, priorities, and the impact of measures taken.

A Debate That Gets Stuck Without Numbers

CISOs recognize the problem: they need to convince their boards of necessary investments but often lack the right language and numbers to have that conversation. Questions like 'How well are we doing?', 'Where are the biggest risks?' or 'Are we better protected than last year?' remain difficult to answer objectively.

Without clear numbers, the debate remains based on gut feeling, and that is not enough. 'Cybersecurity has finally become a boardroom topic, but discussions often remain too abstract,' says Fabrice Wynants, Global VP Cybersecurity & Networking at Cegeka. 'Executives want to know where the organization stands, what actions are needed, and whether those actions actually contribute to higher cyber resilience. You can only demonstrate that with clear and consistent data.'

Cyber Resilience at a Glance

The new dashboard consolidates the results of various security assessments into one overview. Organizations gain insights into their cyber resilience score, the maturity of individual security domains, and the progress of their security roadmap.

The results are automatically linked to internationally recognized cybersecurity frameworks, including NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS, as well as relevant cybersecurity regulations. This allows organizations to objectively benchmark their current situation and invest more strategically in the right cybersecurity measures.

According to Bart Van den Branden, Head of Product Management Security at Cegeka, the real added value lies in tracking evolution over the years. 'It's not about one absolute score,' he emphasizes. 'It's about the progress you make. CISOs need to be able to demonstrate that they are making the right choices, that their approach works, and that the organization is becoming more resilient step by step.'

By making scores and trends visible over time, the dashboard supports that conversation with management in a concrete and substantiated way.

Focus on Cyber Resilience

Cegeka has long advocated for a shift from classic cybersecurity to full-fledged end-to-end cyber resilience. Protection is and remains priority number 1, but organizations must also be resilient enough to remain operational when something goes wrong: absorbing incidents, minimizing impact, and recovering quickly and in a controlled manner. This end-to-end approach to cyber resilience is at the core of the Cegeka Security Advisory Framework and the new dashboard.

'Organizations know they need to improve, but often lack an overview,' says Wynants. 'With this dashboard and scoring, we provide CISOs with a compass to measure and strengthen their cyber resilience step by step.'
