This talk argues that security failures persist because organizations don’t clearly define what “good” actually looks like. Without a concrete target state, teams operate in ambiguity—making progress hard to measure and easy to misinterpret.

## **Key takeaways**

- **No clear definition of success**
  - What does “secure enough” mean?
  - Most organizations can’t answer that concretely
  - Without a target, efforts drift
- **Teams operate in ambiguity**
  - Goals are vague or constantly shifting
  - Different stakeholders define success differently
  - This creates misalignment and confusion
- **Progress is hard to measure**
  - Without a defined end state, metrics become arbitrary
  - Teams track activity instead of outcomes
  - Leadership gets an unclear picture of risk
- **Frameworks don’t solve this alone**
  - Standards provide structure
  - But don’t define what success looks like in your environment
  - Organizations still need to translate them into concrete goals
- **Clarity enables prioritization**
  - When you know what “good” looks like, decisions get easier
  - Trade-offs become explicit
  - Resources can be focused where they matter most
