Zero Trust ThirtyEpisode 22: Closing the Gap Between CISOs and the Board to Build a Zero Trust Security CultureAccording to PwC, “only 33% of directors say they think their board understands the company’s cybersecurity vulnerabilities very well.” This comes as no surprise given 63% of CISOs don’t report to the board at all, according to a Ponemon Institute report.

So, vulnerabilities amass and organizations are left flat footed when those vulnerabilities get exploited. Now is the time to bridge the gap between CISOs and the board by elevating the security and operational benefits of Zero Trust principles across the greate...
