CIOs at the Forefront of Championing Cyber Security

The trouble with examining the cyber threat-scape and attempting to draw lessons from attack examples is that it tends to be one-way traffic: there’s plenty of post-breach analysis, but precious little information from organisations that have successfully fought off an attack. We the media are partly responsible as “man didn’t bite dog” is hardly a news story and organisations don’t routinely reveal details of unsuccessful attacks as they are too plentiful. When they do, however, there are lessons to be learnt.
