Ponemon Research: Understand the Serious Risks to Executives' Personal Cybersecurity & Digital Lives
With the proliferation of internet connected devices, the necessity of sharing network connections with friends and family and the frequent use of unsecured personal devices and private email accounts for work purposes, C-Suite personal data has become increasingly vulnerable.
The trend towards remote work and a constantly connected leadership division has stretched IT security staff to their limits. In an effort to allow executives to transition between their personal and professional lives while providing an optimal user experience, many CISOs have had to compromise their visibility into the private digital lives of their executives.
Ponemon Institute surveyed 553 IT and IT security practitioners who are knowledgeable about the programs and policies used to prevent cybersecurity threats against executives and their digital assets. The purpose of this research is to understand the risks created by the cybersecurity gap between the corporate office and executives’ protection at home.

Tel Aviv, July 26, 2023 –
Today, the vast majority of CISOs are required to prove the value of their security programs and tool stack. They are expected to quickly answer questions around performance, progress, and budget. Adding to the complexity is the increasing size of their security stack — the average global organization has more than 29 security solutions in place, constituting a mostly unmanageable situation due to the massive amounts of data generated nonstop.
SeeMetrics, the leading Cybersecurity Performance Management (CPM) platform that’s revolutionizing how security leaders measure, track, and improve security performance, today announced the launch of its new Cybersecurity Performance Boards. Organized by security domains, the new Cybersecurity Performance Boards are a collection of out-of-the box metrics that empower security leaders to measure the performance of their technologies, processes, and people in real time. SeeMetrics is the first ever data platform that drives cybersecurity performance assessment directly from the operational stack and “inside the perimeter”.
