Trilogy: Increasing engagement in cybersecurity (Part 1)

Published: August 24, 2017 by Guest Contributor

Leadership and Cybersecurity

Multiple studies suggest many executives aren’t as engaged as they should be when ensuring their organizations are prepared to mitigate and manage cybersecurity risks. Insights from our Fourth Annual Data Breach Preparedness Survey, conducted by the Ponemon Institute, support this sentiment. Of the privacy, compliance and IT professionals polled:

  • 57% said their company’s board, chairman and chief executive officer were not informed about or involved in data breach response planning.
  • 60% have leadership who don’t want to know immediately when a material breach occurs.
  • 66% have a board that doesn’t understand the specific cybersecurity threats their organization faces.
  • 74% said their board isn’t willing to take ownership for successful incident response plan implementation.

For organizations to protect themselves, cybersecurity professionals need to create greater engagement among the organization’s leadership. Next week, we’ll look at how they can accomplish this. If you’d like, you can jump ahead and read it now.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

Text legacy

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
