Gulf of misunderstanding between CEOs and CISOs widens
There is a widening gulf of miscommunication between security teams and their boards. According to software intelligence platform, Dynatrace, 77 percent of company information security officers (CISOs) say their boards and CEOs focus too heavily on the ability to react to security incidents and not enough on reducing and preventing risk proactively. “Executive engagement has often been limited to conversations around regulatory compliance and high profile or user-centric security risks, such as phishing attacks, ransomware, or the use of mobile devices among an increasingly hybrid workforce. There is often less understanding of the material operational effects created by other, more technology-centric risks, such as gaps in the organization’s application security posture,” says Dynatrace.
