Cybersecurity Risk: A Top Issue in the Boardroom

FINDINGS FROM A CYBERRISK ALLIANCE (CRA) RESEARCH STUDY

Risk management has risen significantly on the board of directors’ radar from a compliance requirement checklist item to one of the many pillars required to ensure a corporation can manage security risk.

A survey conducted by CyberRisk Alliance among 252 senior-level IT executives identified several areas that might drive decision making to address corporate risk-related issues for the foreseeable future.

Some of the findings show:

• A change in North American corporate executives’ view of whether they should take a reactive or proactive approach to cybersecurity
• A need to develop a more effective and efficient risk management operation and integrate it with the audit and compliance operations within the corporate hierarchy
• The top objectives why organizations are investing in GRC software
