The early months of a new year always present an opportunity to reflect on how an industry has advanced and where we're headed. For cybersecurity professionals, 2023 marked the maturity of the government's efforts and strategy for a more secure landscape. It also signaled that corporate boards, C-Suites, and other senior leaders must become more cyber-savvy in integrating cybersecurity into expanded dimensions of their businesses. The roll-out of the White House's National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan and various new regulations such as the expanded scope of The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) are evidence of this.
