The latest cyber security analysis from Control Risks reveals that key decision makers do not have confidence in their Boards’ ability to manage cyber security threats. The global ‘Cyber Security Landscape’ survey of IT and Business decision makers found that almost half of respondents reported they believe their organization’s board-level executives do not take cyber security as seriously as they should. George Nicholls, Senior Partner based in Johannesburg at Control Risks commented:“The misalignment between treating cyber security as a technological issue or a business risk is not new. Organisations should ensure cyber security becomes a regular item on the board’s agenda that includes reviewing the external cyber threat landscape in conjunction with IT. Conducted between January and February 2017, Control Risk’s survey is set against a backdrop of a continued growth in major cyber breaches.
