Why Higher Eduation Boards and IT LeadersNeed to Align on Cyber-Resilience

This CISO Credibility Gap study highlights a disconnect between higher education IT security leaders and their boards. Despite 97% of institutions facing breaches last year, many CISOs struggle to communicate cybersecurity risks in business terms. Other key findings include:

· 72% face boardroom pressure to downplay risks
· 33% say cybersecurity is seen as an IT, not business, risk
· 76% believe boards act only after a breach

However, aligning your cyber resilience strategy with business goals can enhance CISO credibility and influence. An Attack Surface Risk Management platform offers a unified security view to bridge this gap.

Explore the report for insights on improving cyber-resilience in higher education.
