This chapter discusses technology advances and why we must maintain our efforts to secure it from cyber threats. Information technology (IT) is the practical use of knowledge, resources, and skills to solve problems, boost productivity, and improve everyone’s quality of life. It is essential in guiding and forming society and economic growth. IT applications employed for cyber risk control act as a strategic and tactical instrument in organizational information security management. Information technology (IT) and cybersecurity are inextricably linked; therefore, governance is integral to this relationship for cyber risk control. By leveraging proprietary knowledge and know-how, IT helps develop, maintain, and improve the firm’s competitive advantage. On the other hand, it is also an enabler for cybersecurity to enhance digital risk management. As an enabler, IT can assist the firm in shaping and accomplishing its cybersecurity strategic and operational objectives. IT is a vital weapon in the fight against cyber threats. It enables cybersecurity experts to monitor networks, systems, and servers to look for anomalies that can point to a cyberattack using cutting-edge tools and techniques like artificial intelligence and machine learning. We look at governance issues, challenges, and essentials to help align and design the organization’s cybersecurity program vis-à-vis its IT capabilities.
