November 2, 2020

The Security 500 Sector report aims to give an analysis on where security roles and departments land in the enterprise. Here, you will see information about security budgets broken out by sector, along with whom security reports to and their geographic security responsibilities. In the Sector report, we also break security’s organizational responsibilities down to give a benchmark for other security professionals to see how their responsibilities line up with peers in their sector. For the full Sector report, including breakdown of organizational responsibilities by the 17 sectors we follow, visit www.securitymagazine.com/Security-500.
