Trend Micro Incorporated<\/a> (TYO: 4704<\/a>; TSE: 4704<\/a>), a global cybersecurity leader, today revealed that four-fifths (79%) of global cybersecurity leaders have felt boardroom pressure to downplay the severity of cyber risks facing their organisation.<\/p>\n

“Over half of security leaders say cyber is their biggest business risk. But they’re failing to communicate that risk in a language the board understands. As a result they’re ignored, belittled and accused of nagging,” said Trend Micro’s Technical Director Bharat Mistry. “Unless they can engage better with senior leadership, corporate cyber-resilience will suffer. The first step is to attain a single source of truth across the attack surface.”\n<\/p>\n

Of those security leaders who came under pressure from their board, 43% say it is because they are seen as being repetitive or nagging and 42% that they are viewed as overly negative. A third (33%) claim they have been dismissed out of hand.\n<\/p>\n

This points to a serious credibility gap, closely linked to their inability to align cyber with business risk. In fact, 46% say that when they have been able to measure the business value of their cybersecurity strategy, they’ve been viewed with more credibility.\n<\/p>\n
