As governments increased their investments in cybersecurity, measuring the return on that investment became critical. This session explored how agencies could quantify trust and risk, align spending with public outcomes, and build a strong case for executive support and accountability.
It covered strategies for framing cyber investment as a driver of service excellence and trust, measuring trust impacts through performance metrics, building business cases that resonated with executive and oversight stakeholders, and aligning cyber strategies with organisational goals and citizen priorities.
Designed for executive cyber leaders, strategists, and governance professionals, this final session in the series equipped attendees to demonstrate the value of digital trust as a driver of secure, sustainable transformation.
