Some of the findings from this year’s Risk & Resilience research show cyber risk continues to be a blind spot for global executives – where they appear to be failing to see or understand the changing face of cyber crime.
- The perceived threat of cyber to global business leaders continues to drop – with just only a quarter (26%) ranking cyber as their top threat – down from 34% in 2021.iv
- However, at the same time perceived resilience to cyber risk is dropping – with 75% of executives feeling resilient to cyber risk, down from 80% in 2022.v
- And 11% of global boardrooms admitted in the survey that they believe their organisation has inadequate protection for cyber risk.
- 23% of c-suite leaders said they are unpreparediii for cyber risks this year – this rises to 29% among large UK firms (£1bn+ revenue).
