Computer Security Awareness Training

According to a survey of C-level executives, CEOs appear to underestimate the IT security risks faced by their own organizations. A story by Jaikumar Vijayan with CIO.com gives the full details.

In summary, it seems that most CEOs differed in their understanding of IT security risk factors as compared to other C-level executives and felt more confident that breaches could be avoided. In comparison, most CEOs felt that the CIOs are responsible for protecting data at their companies, where only 24% of other senior managers felt the same way. Over 85% of the respondents shared the opinion that someone else (other than themselves) would be held responsible in the case of a data breach.

How well does your executive team communicate on the importance of mitigating IT security risk factors, executing an IT security policy, and each person’s role in the equation?
