Few Fortune 100 Firms List Security Pros in Their Executive Ranks
Summary: A KrebsOnSecurity review of the 2022 Fortune 100 found only five companies - BestBuy, Cigna, Coca-Cola, Disney and Walmart - listed a CSO or CISO on their executive leadership pages, essentially unchanged from five in 2018. An IANS survey of more than 500 organizations found roughly 65 percent of CISOs still report to a technical leader, with 46 percent reporting to a CIO and 15 percent to a CTO.
Key Takeaway: When the security leader reports to the CIO or CTO rather than the CEO or board, analyst Tari Schreider argues risk concerns take a backseat to productivity and business growth - and the CISO tends to be the scapegoat when the organization is eventually breached.
