NAVEX Global released key findings from its survey of IT security professionals in the U.S. and U.K. on the collaboration between the IT and risk management functions.

91% say cybersecurity is considered a top business risk within their organization.

74% of respondents report increased collaboration between IT security and enterprise risk management over the past year.

78% say their company's investment in cybersecurity has increased in the past year, while 82% indicated that recent data breaches have either greatly or somewhat impacted the way their organization prioritizes cybersecurity.

Among smaller organizations, those with 1,000-4,999 employees, 75% said there was an up-tick in coordination with their risk management counterparts.

Finally, organizations with 10,000 or more employees also indicated increased coordination but the number drops to 61%. This too is likely because larger companies already recognize the benefit of this type of coordination and cooperation.
