70 percent of cybersecurity leaders worry about personal liability

Quick Summary:

Stories of CISOs being held personally liable for cybersecurity incidents has negatively affected their opinion of the role for 70 percent of respondents to a new survey.

At the same time 34 percent in the study for BlackFog, of 400 IT decision makers across the US and UK, believe that the trend of individuals being prosecuted following a cyberattack was a 'no-win' situation for security leaders: facing internal consequences if they report failings and prosecuted if they don't.

High profile instances of individuals being charged will no doubt add to the pressures they feel but could also be a catalyst for Boards to support their leaders.
