The role of the cybersecurity PM in incident-driven development

This sponsored article advises cybersecurity product managers on responding to evolving, financially motivated threats by focusing on visibility, risk prioritization, adaptive policy creation, patch management, and backup protection, using examples like WannaCry/EternalBlue, Exchange bugs, Log4j, Follina, and SolarWinds to illustrate risks such as LOTL, lateral movement, and outbound traffic abuse; it emphasizes layered defenses, strong MFA, USB controls, default-deny network policies, and operational practices (testing, monitor-only modes, and health reporting) to translate breach lessons into actionable product and policy improvements.
