Security News > 2020 > May > CEOs, CISOs fear becoming the next big breach target
Most CEOs are losing sleep over the prospect of becoming the next big, headline-grabbing security breach victim, according to a new report on global business leaders' cybersecurity priorities from global cybersecurity firm Forcepoint, in partnership with WSJ Intelligence.
"At a time when cybersecurity is more strategic to business growth than ever before, it is time senior business and security leaders reassess their cybersecurity strategy to one that enables them to move left of breach," Fischbach said.
Leader companies understand that behavior-based technologies are the modern cybersecurity path forward and those that get cybersecurity right today will see this become a key competitive differentiator for their business in the years ahead, Fischbach said.
There is also a clear divide between CEOs and CISOs in how they identify the right cybersecurity path forward for their business.
While more than half of CISOs embrace a more reactive, incident-driven approach to mitigating today's dynamic cybersecurity threat landscape, the report stated.
