But there is some new evidence that the situation on the ground is changing, and rapidly at that.<\/span><\/p>\n<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a new study by management consulting firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fierceceo.com\/technology\/ceos-are-taking-more-responsibility-for-company-s-cyber-security-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accenture<\/a>, 59% of CEOs and enterprise boards oversee and approve their enterprises\u2019 cybersecurity budgets as of this year. This is a marked increase from 2017, when only 33% oversaw such decisions. Simultaneously, as CEOs and boards take more ownership over cybersecurity decisions, their CIOs have experienced a drop in their budgetary authority. Only 29% of CIOs had budgetary approval power in 2018, compared to 35% of CIOs last year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Accenture also found that while only 66% have an active cybersecurity program, 89% of surveyed information security teams detected digital security incidents and data breaches within one month of infiltration. By comparison, in 2017 only 32% of enterprise security teams could make that claim. In fact, 55% of organizations only a week to detect a threat on their network as compared to 10% last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The adoption of cybersecurity as a CEO-level concern is largely a positive development. Other studies have found that designating cybersecurity as merely a concern of the IT department is correlated to a lack of knowledge and increased digital risk. Employees in enterprises that do not prioritize cybersecurity are less likely to recognize digital threats as legitimate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CEO-level interest can also prove a boon to cybersecurity professionals who need new information security solutions in order to properly monitor and protect their enterprise\u2019s digital assets.
