Despite growing recognition of their importance in mounting an effective cybersecurity defence, industry research has suggested that fully one-third of CEOs and 43 percent of management teams are not regularly briefed on cybersecurity.
While 60 percent of respondents to the Dimensional Research survey, conducted on behalf of security firm CyberArk, said their organisation could be breached, a similar percentage of respondents said their CEOs weren’t well informed enough about security and 69 percent said that security is too technical of an issue for their CEO.
Some 53 percent of the 304 surveyed IT-security professionals believe that CEOs make business decisions without considering security issues, while 44 percent said their CEOs simply do not understand the severity of today’s security risks.
