Connecting the boardroom with the server room

In most organizations, there’s a massive language divide. While the technology team wades through the weeds of protocols, patches and pings, executives fly way overhead, debating margins, liabilities, investments and strategic goals.

A serious cybersecurity incident puts these groups on a crash course. When the pressure piles up, the language gulf between tech and business people can cause frustrations to boil over. As communication volume goes through the roof but comprehension remains low, snap decisions are made on guesswork and gut-feel.

Even when things are going OK, managers find themselves routinely interpreting and translating, struggling to express things effectively. How can the business plan and justify its cybersecurity investments, or specify, prioritise, track and drive implementation activities without the right words to describe what's going on?

It’s not just an issue for IT and management, either: Risk, HR, Compliance and Safety teams all have their own terminology and deep-seated concerns. Meanwhile, Operations, Finance and Marketing seemingly coexist on different planes, swimming their own lanes.

So long as everyone is speaking a different dialect, some of the most critical corporate valuables - the information assets - and dependent business activities remain at risk. In the case of safety-critical systems and data, lives are at risk.

Cue the Cybersecurity Hyperglossary

Think of this as your organization’s communications hub. Turn technical jargon into actionable business intelligence. Convert broad strategic imperatives into pragmatic policies, procedures and parameters.

The Old Way	The Hyperglossary Way
Confusion of alphabet soup (SOC, DLP, CIA, ROSI …)	Contextual clarity through plain-English explanations
Heated arguments over misunderstood risks	Collaboration based on mutual understanding
Siloed departments guessing at solutions	Coherent comms end-to-end, side-to-side, top-to-bottom
Disjointed comms	Hyperlinked, cross-referenced

Prevent obscure business lingo and tech jargon from obstructing progress. The Cybersecurity Hyperglossary empowers everyone from the C-Suite and stakeholders to the janitor, from Procurement to Sales.  We all need solid information. We all depend on information security.
