That moment when a CISO gets budget approval is rarer than most people think. And the pure joy of those kids? That’s exactly what it feels like after months of ROI justifications, risk reports, and ‘we’ll revisit next quarter’ promises.
But here’s what the video doesn’t show: the real victory isn’t the budget — it’s what the CISO does next.
Three ways to honor that ‘abrazos’ moment:
1. Deliver quick wins first. Nothing kills future budget like a program that takes 18 months to show value. Pick a 90-day project (MFA rollout, asset inventory, phishing simulation) and report back early.
2. Thank the board members who championed you. Budget approval is political. Send a personal note to each advocate. They’ll remember when next year’s request comes.
3. Celebrate with your team. That abrazo shouldn’t be solo. Your analysts, engineers and compliance folks bled for those slides. Acknowledge them publicly.
Budget is trust in motion. The CISO who runs to their team with that same energy as the kids in the video? That’s how you build a security culture that lasts.
