Half (48%) of global respondents claimed that their leadership doesn\u2019t consider cybersecurity to be their responsibility. Just 17% disagreed strongly with that statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked who does or should hold responsibility for mitigating business risk, respondents returned a variety of answers, indicating a lack of clarity on reporting lines. Nearly a third (25%) of UK respondents said the buck stops with organisational IT teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lack of clear direction on cybersecurity strategy may be why over half (54%) of UK respondents complained that their organisation\u2019s attitude to cyber risk is inconsistent and varies from month to month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bharat Mistry, Technical Director at Trend Micro, said:\u201cA lack of clear leadership on cybersecurity can have a paralysing effect on an organisation \u2013 leading to reactive, piecemeal and erratic decision making. Companies need CISOs to clearly communicate in terms of business risk to engage their boards. Ideally, they should have a single source of truth across the attack surface from which to share updates with the board, continually monitor risk and automatically remediate issues for enhanced cyber-resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leadership required to remediate these issues is not present in many organisations. Nearly all (94%) of those surveyed have concerns about their attack surface. Over one-third (36%) are worried about having a way of discovering, assessing and mitigating high-risk areas and 16% aren\u2019t able to work from a single source of truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trend Micro research reveals major security gaps and lack of board accountability in many companies\u00a0 Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, has published&nbsp;research&nbsp;revealing that UK organisations lack sufficient resources and leadership buy-in to measure and mitigate risk across their digital attack surface.
