The relationship between boards of directors and CISOs could be better these days.

According to a report from cyber security firm ProofPoint in collaboration with Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan, while 69% of board members report seeing eye-to-eye with their CISO, only 51% of CISOs say the same thing.

The report looked at three factors: The cyber threats and risks boards face, their level of preparedness to combat those threats and their alignment with CISOs based on the CISO sentiments.

The report did find that board members and CISOs are on the same page when it comes to the top threat they face.

Boards also are concerned about cloud account compromise and ransomware, while CISOs ranked insiders as their top threat.
