Cost to Capital: Reframing Cybersecurity as a Strategic Growth Investment
Overview
Cybersecurity has moved beyond IT governance; it now directly influences enterprise valuation, liquidity, and cost of capital. With rising regulatory scrutiny, escalating ransomware losses, and investor expectations around risk governance, CFOs are emerging as the architects of enterprise cyber resilience. This exclusive Times Group Think Tank brings together a select cohort of visionary CFOs for a strategic dialogue on the financial implications of cybersecurity. Discover how AI-driven detection, secure device lifecycle management, and hardware-level protection are fundamentally reshaping cyber economics and unlocking measurable ROI. This is not a technology discussion. This is a business, capital, and growth discussion for decision-makers who shape the financial future of their enterprise.
Key Areas of Discussion:
- Cybersecurity as a Financial Instrument: How cyber maturity directly impacts credit ratings, insurance premiums, and investor trust.
- Cost Optimization Through AI-Driven Security: Real-world models demonstrating measurable ROI from AI-powered detection and device-level security.
- Secure Device Lifecycle as a Capital Efficiency Lever: How enterprises are lowering OpEx, reducing compliance risk, and strengthening audit readiness.
- Risk-to-Capital Forecasting for 2025–2030: A forward-looking view of regulatory risk, governance expectations, and fiduciary responsibility.
- Governance Frameworks for Modern CFOs: How financial leaders can structure, quantify, and communicate cyber investments at the board level.
