Are C-Level Leaders on the Chopping Block over Cybersecurity>
Solutions Reviews – Ben Canner
In many ways, C-Level leaders are already being held responsible for their enterprisesâ cybersecurity policies. The Economist Intelligence Unit found that 40% of executives believe their board of directors should be responsible for cybersecurity. 96% believe their boards arenât spending enough on cyber resilience. Emphasizing this projected responsibility, Kaspersky Lab discovered 32% of corporate data breaches in North America led to the firing of C-Level leaders. At the large enterprise level, 27% of those C-Level leaders were senior executives and not affiliated with IT departments. While employees in general often lose their jobs in the wake of a breach, such high percentages should give C-Level executives should give pause. If, as Kaspersky Lab has found, 42% of enterprises dealt with a data breach last year, then your enterprise is at riskâ¦and therefore so is your job. Itâs no longer a question of if you and your fellow C-Level leaders are responsible for cybersecurity. Itâs a question of how you want to take responsibility.
