A CFO’s Guide to Maximising Value from Cybersecurity Investments

About this event

In 2025, cybersecurity has moved beyond a protective measure and become a strategic investment that can drive value and enhance business resilience. For the first time CFOs are uniquely positioned to lead the charge in integrating cybersecurity into the broader business strategy.

With the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore emphasising the need for organisations to strengthen their defences amid rising threats, CFOs must prioritise cybersecurity investments that deliver measurable outcomes and align with regulatory standards such as the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

This 14th January, FutureCFO is partnering with Okta, to host a roundtable discussion on how CFOs can elevate the conversation around cybersecurity investments. This discussion will focus on strategies that not only protect assets but also generate business value. We will evaluate the financial implications of cyber threats, develop meaningful metrics for cybersecurity performance, and ensure that investments in cybersecurity are aligned with overall business goals.

By fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration, CFOs can champion initiatives that strengthen risk management and enhance organizational resilience.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Strategic Investment Framework: Understanding the importance of treating cybersecurity as a strategic investment and how to justify spending to stakeholders.
  • Performance Metrics: Developing outcome-driven metrics that link cybersecurity investments to business value and operational efficiency.
  • Case Study Insights: Lessons learned from a CFO who successfully navigated a major cybersecurity transformation, securing funding for critical initiatives without prior budget allocations.

Join us this 14 January for this unique, vital discussion that will equip you with the insights and strategies needed to maximise the value of your cybersecurity investments.

  • CFO, Head of Finance, Financial Controller
