Tenable establishes the Exposure Management Leadership Council, uniting CISOs to shape proactive risk management frameworks worldwide.
Cybersecurity company Tenable has announced the creation of the Exposure Management Leadership Council, a new working group focused on developing best practices, policies, and frameworks for exposure management.
The Council is made up of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and cybersecurity leaders from across industries, including insurance, technology, transportation, legal, and consumer goods. Its goal is to evolve exposure management into a proactive security discipline that measurably reduces cyber risk.
The announcement coincides with the release of the Council’s first report, “Board meetings and the dreaded cyber risk update: a use case for exposure management”, which highlights the communication gap between security leaders and boards of directors, noting that traditional operational metrics often fail to capture an organisation’s true level of cyber exposure.
“Exposure management is a strategic driver of organisational success,” said Bob Huber, Chief Security Officer at Tenable and Chair of the Council. “Our goal is to shift the conversation from endless technical metrics to a strategic discussion focused on risk reduction. A standardised exposure management framework would help CISOs pinpoint their organisation’s most pressing exposures and articulate their potential business impact.”
Council member Joanna Burkey, a corporate director and former CISO at HP and Siemens Americas, added: “Exposure management can help CISOs bridge the boardroom communication gap. While the fundamental objectives are proactive breach prevention and risk mitigation, an added benefit is the ability to turn the quarterly cyber update into a strategic discussion that drives action.”
By creating a formalised framework, the Council aims to provide CISOs with practical tools to communicate risk more effectively, integrate exposure insights across teams, and strengthen organisational resilience in the face of growing regulatory scrutiny and cyber threats.
