These findings come from the fourth and concluding section of the <em>2021 Global CIO Survey<\/em> from Logicalis, a global provider of IT solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study which surveyed 1,000 CIOs from around the world, finds that nearly half of respondents (47%) see data breaches as the biggest risk to their organisation (an increase of 6% from last year). Following data breaches, CIOs state malware and ransomware (39%) as other key areas of concern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The perceived risk of a data breach is likely to have risen&nbsp;due to the increase in borderless workforces as employees continue to work from home or adopt hybrid working practices. When they occur, data breaches can lead to a range of issues from loss of business-critical data and stalled business growth and in the most serious cases: the complete shutdown of a business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less than a third of CIOs (30%) cite lack of staff awareness as a security issue, down from 50% last year. This perceived improvement in staff awareness is due in part to an emphasised investment in additional training and technology measures to mitigate security risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While 94% of CIOs acknowledge some form of serious threat over the next 12 months, only 27% list Business Continuity and resilience as a top-three priority during the next 12 months and barely a third cite risk mitigation as a measure of performance.
