The cybersecurity “accountability gap” is growing as 40 percent of executives admitted they didn’t feel responsible for the impact of a cyberattack and a lack of understanding concerning cybersecurity could be a contributing factor, according to a study commissioned by endpoint security firm Tanium and the NASDAQ.
The Accountability Gap: Cybersecurity and Building a Culture of Responsibility asked 1,530 non-executive directors, C-level executives, Chief Information Officers, and Chief Information Security Officers from around the world.
“Executives generally don’t feel they have an important role in information security, believing it to be a problem for their IT and security teams.” Tanium Chief Security Officer David Damato said in comments emailed to SCMagazine.com.
He went on to say that cybersecurity should be something for which all executives feel responsible.
The survey found that more than 90 percent of corporate executives said they cannot read a cyber security report and are not prepared to handle a major attack. For the full article click here
