Great question. The research that gets the most attention from the C-suite tends to focus on the intersection of security and business value. Top priorities include: 1) How to actually quantify the ROI of security spending, 2) Better models for cyber risk management and insurance, 3) How security breaches (or a strong posture) impact customer trust and brand reputation, 4) Effective board-level governance, and 5) Managing third-party/supply chain risks. Studies on the true cost of breaches, whether security training actually works, and how to weave cybersecurity into business continuity plans are also incredibly valuable for making smarter decisions.
