The Middle East’s leading technology website
Cybersecurity analytics firm RedSeal has revealed that there is a disconnect between CEOs confidence in cyber defence strategies and actual results.
The survey, which is based on 200 CEOs from various industries, such as technology, finance, manufacturing, government and retail, discovered that 80% of CEOs are confident in their company’s cybersecurity strategies, regardless of the fact that security incidents have increased by 66% year-on-year since 2009.

Just hours after his company shared their findings regarding corporate executives and their cyber naivete – including an alarming statistic showing more than 80 percent of CEOs are confident in their companies’ strategies even as cyber incidents continue to rise – officials from Yahoo announced they discovered a breach that originated three years ago and compromised the data of more than a billion users.

Yahoo’s billion-user breach calls the company’s security practices into question.
…Those companies with greater visibility into their networks better position themselves “to address the concerns of consumers, business partners and shareholders” after an attack, RedSeal CEO and Chairman Ray Rothrock told SC Media. “Digital resilience – the ability to battle the bad guys when they are inside your network, continue your operations staying in business and protect high value assets like customer data – is the new gold standard,” said Rothrock, adding that “digital resilience scores – similar to credit worthiness scores – [could] provide a benchmark and support a cyberstrategy for improvement.”

Survey Roundup: “Naive” CEOs Put Firms at Cyberattack Risk
/by RedSealWALL STREET JOURNAL | December 16, 2016
CEO Disconnect: A survey of 200 chief executives by cybersecurity analytics firm RedSeal and data company 72 Point found 80% of the respondents operate with “cyber naiveté” that exposes their companies as ripe cyberattack targets. So while 80% of the CEOs said they were confident in their company’s cybersecurity strategies, half still prioritized the outdated view of keeping hackers out of their networks compared to 24% who are taking steps to deal with hackers who already have breached their networks.
“CEOs’ confidence reflects a disconnect with the reality of increased cyberattacks and the massive financial losses associated with them,” the survey report concluded. “In addition, their confidence is based on a strategy determined to be insufficient and out of date more than two years ago.”

Think back over some of the biggest hacks and security breaches that have occurred over the year. Over and over again, companies big and small across almost every industry inevitably fall victim to a cyber-attack.
