29% of Canadian IT Security Professionals Would Overhaul Existing Systems
Twenty-three percent of Canadian cybersecurity teams never speak with their executive team about cybersecurity, but of those that did, 23 percent spoke just annually, and 24 percent spoke with the C-Suite semi-annually. Only 13 percent of IT Canadian security professionals spoke with executives quarterly, according to a new Ponemon Institute study with Websense, Inc.
The study revealed a knowledge and resource gap in the enterprise, which leads to an increased level of vulnerability and risk of data security breaches. According to the study, only 31 percent of Canadian IT and IT security practitioners believe their companies invest enough in skilled personnel and technologies to be effective in the enterprise’s security mission.
