As a result, enterprise cybersecurity budgets and strategies do not align with actual needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Centrify\u2019s study found that, among CEOs: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">62% consider malware to be the biggest cybersecurity threat, whereas CTO\u2019s recognize identity as the more urgent issue. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">60% primarily invest in antimalware solutions rather than any other solution.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">93% feel they are adequately prepared for a malware attack. Tellingly, only 8% of all executives said anti-malware would have prevented their enterprise\u2019s breach. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">62% believe multi-factor authentication is difficult to use and manage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of these findings are deeply worrying, as the majority of CTOs and other technical experts disagreed with their CEOs\u2019 conclusions; the research indicates a fundamental breakdown in communication within enterprises and a failure on the part of CEOs to recognize the severity of digital threat actors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Relatedly, one of the most alarming findings in the Centrify report indicated that 55% of CEOs said their enterprise suffered a breach, whereas 79% of CTOs confirmed their enterprise had. This indicates that nearly a quarter of CEOs are unaware their organization has already suffered at the hands of hackers. Perhaps this disconnect can explain while <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/devops\/2018\/02\/21\/keep-cloud-platform-safe-cryptojackers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tesla left their servers completely unsecured without even a password<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Centrify study is a wake-up call.
