Computer and Internet Security Getting Attention
Computer Security is certainly more of a discussion point among executives these days. More than ever, we have to keep our executive teams abreast of what's happening out there and what we need to do about it.
A recent survey of 815 business-technology and security professionals, jointly conducted, found that senior executives are taking a greater interest in information-security issues and having a stronger say in how security dollars are spent.
Some 46% of respondents said the CEO, president, or managing director sets spending for information security. That's a lower percentage than in previous years, which may be because many companies are setting up committees to help direct Internet and PC security spending. A growing number are also hiring chief computer security officers who manage the security budget. AOL Time Warner Inc. and Sun Microsystems Inc. are among some of the high-profile companies that have made chief security officer hires in the past year. According to Meta Group, only about 30% of Fortune 1000 companies have a chief security officer or equivalent, but 95% say they need to hire someone in that role.
