Organizations grapple with a complex challenge: striking the right balance between human expertise and algorithmic insights. As highlighted by Hubbard (2014), a prevailing trend is the tendency for individuals within organizations, including senior management, to overvalue their own opinions and ideas, even when confronted with data-driven insights generated by sophisticated algorithms. This phenomenon, often referred to as the "expertise paradox," can have significant implications for cybersecurity risk management.

The adage "what gets measured gets managed" holds significant weight in cybersecurity. Organizations invest heavily in metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and risk assessments, aiming to quantify their cybersecurity posture and demonstrate progress. However, a growing concern emerges: the "analysis placebo" effect, as highlighted by Hubbard (2014). This phenomenon suggests that the act of measuring itself can create a false sense of security, leading organizations to believe they are effectively managing risks when, in reality, they may be overlooking critical vulnerabilities.

Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury but a necessity for small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and SMBs are often seen as easy targets due to their perceived lack of resources and security measures. However, with the right approach, SMBs can implement robust cybersecurity risk management programs that are both effective and affordable.
