Board of Directors Interest in Cybersecurity Increases 23% Since 2017
Boards ramp up investment in data privacy and security in rush to become GDPR compliant and avoid data breaches, says a Harvey Nash/KPMG CIO Survey.
The survey found almost a quarter (23 percent) more respondents than in 2017 are prioritizing improvements in cyber security as cyber crime threats reach an all-time high, while managing operational risk and compliance has also become a significantly increased priority (up 12 percent). These two areas represent the fastest growing IT priorities of company boards.
