Survey Reflects Growth in How Corporations Manage and Protect Information

By Ari Kaplan
April 02, 2017

Many organizations are changing their approach to leveraging cybersecurity intelligence through enhanced cooperation, detailed information sharing, and broad-based collaboration. To characterize those shifts and offer perspectives that empower effective benchmarking, for the third consecutive year, Nuix engaged my firm to interview corporate security officials. The December 2016 report — Defending Data: Cybersecurity Maturity Reflects Growth in How Corporations Manage and Protect Information From Increasingly Sophisticated Threats  — reflects the perspectives of 29 cybersecurity executives across a range of industries.

More than half of them (55%) were directors or vice presidents with primary responsibility for information or cybersecurity, while 31% served as their organization's chief information security officer. The remaining 14% had management oversight for those areas.

86% were from organizations with over $1 billion in annual revenue and 72% were from companies with over 5,000 employees. They hailed from a diverse group of industries, including: financial services (34%); life sciences (17%); banking (10%); insurance (10%); energy (7%); manufacturing (7%); technology (3%); consulting (3%); retail (3%); and entertainment (3%). (Percentages do not add up to 100% due to rounding.)
