US 2020 Less Data Breaches but More Expensive

📊 CISOs: Free Cybersecurity Metrics Dashboards to Track Right Now 📊

As a CISO, you’re judged by how well you measure and communicate risk. But building dashboards from scratch or paying for pricey platforms isn’t always feasible.

Good news: there are powerful free cybersecurity dashboards you can start using or adapting today to track what matters most – from phishing response times to endpoint health and user risk.

Here’s a curated list of must-know dashboards and templates:

🛡️ DORA Just Became Mandatory – Are You Ready to Prove It?

🧠 Financial entities are waking up to a hard truth:

💥 DORA isn’t just about systems – it’s about people, vendors, and visibility.

⏳ The compliance deadline is January 17, 2025. But most haven’t started addressing the weakest link – the human attack surface.

🚨 DORA now demands you monitor and test every ICT risk – including third parties. That means your social engineering blind spots could now trigger a compliance failure.

🎯 This isn’t theory. It’s operational reality.

✅ Boards are now directly accountable for digital risk governance.
✅ Simulations must go beyond tech – into phishing, impersonation, and insider threats.
✅ Your cyber resilience must now be provable.

🔎 What’s most surprising?
DORA’s final standards expect proactive testing of non-technical risk vectors – and most orgs are still training humans once a year.

That’s a ticking bomb.

👁️‍🗨️ AUMINT Trident delivers DORA-ready human-layer simulations, exposure analysis, and board-grade insights.
