Featured Partner CyberScore - Are you as Cyber Secure as you think?

According to the survey up to three-quarters of UK, company executives believe their cybersecurity is above average, with almost 50% believing that their organisation is one of the top security performers in their industry.

Over Confidence as Data Breaches Rise?

Something doesn’t quite add up, however, as the number of data breaches continues to rise in both the UK and across the world.

Are executives becoming too confident or perhaps even complacent when it comes to their cybersecurity?

One of the least surprising results of the survey adding to the theory that UK organisations may be overconfident is that just 36% of organisations carry out regular cybersecurity risk assessments.

A cyber-attack against a business is unfortunately inevitable at some point so it begs the question; are those organisations with executives who are massively confident in their security legitimate or just showboating?

Data security is a growing point of importance to potential customers and clients, so to openly admit that they don’t have a grip on their cybersecurity could result in lost business and perhaps a tainted reputation.

Not informed?

Is the sense of confidence executives claim to have in their security legitimate or simply a result of their security teams telling them what they want to hear?

We get it, CISOs and security teams often have to operate with limited budgets and often under intense pressure from the top.  This can result in security teams telling their employers what they want to hear, after all no one wants to have their jobs on the line.  A culture of fear isn’t helpful to anyone, especially when it means the truth isn’t reaching those who need to hear it.
