Meaning ● Cybersecurity Strategic Alignment, within the scope of Small and Medium-sized Businesses, means integrating cybersecurity measures directly with business goals and growth strategies, ensuring that security initiatives actively support automation and digital transformation efforts. This ensures cybersecurity investments demonstrably enhance business value, not merely function as a defensive expense. Proper alignment provides a risk-aware business approach. The goal is a state where IT security supports, and does not hinder, innovation and efficient operations. Alignment further means proactively addressing cybersecurity risks in automated workflows and cloud implementations, preventing vulnerabilities from scaling along with the business.
