Applying Project Management to Cybersecurity

IT projects have many moving parts and require the kind of strategic approach provided by a project manager to limit problems and delays. Project management skills are valuable for ensuring that any undertaking is accomplished to maximize budget and resources, while keeping collective efforts within defined time and performance constraints.

Cybersecurity professionals are increasingly expected to master project management skills to meet the objectives of their positions. But technical skills are only the tip of the iceberg. It’s essential to approach cybersecurity not simply from a security knowledge standpoint, but also with business goals in mind.
