Thursday, September 21, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cybersecurity has increasingly become a topic of conversation at the executive and board of directors level, yet a new joint report from NightDragon and Diligent, endorsed by the New York Stock Exchange, Glass Lewis, ISC2, Spencer Stuart, and Moody's, found that the vast majority of the nation's largest and most influential companies on the S&P 500 face a potential experience gap when it comes to mitigating rising cyber risk, highlighting the need for further education as threats continue to rise.

Key Points: 
  • As a result, cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a discussion at the board of directors' level and part of the overall company compliance and risk strategy.
  • In a world where cyber risks infiltrate every corner of business, board directors must elevate their cyber literacy to levels equal to or beyond their financial acumen.
  • Data from our U.S. Spencer Stuart Board Index supports NightDragon and Diligent's findings: few S&P 500 companies are adding true cyber/tech expertise to their boards.
  • To determine the level of cyber acumen existing in corporate leadership, NightDragon and Diligent Institute - the corporate governance research arm of Diligent, a GRC SaaS company - reviewed the board and C-suite compositions of the S&P 500 companies and categorized them based on specific criteria, including previous roles and cyber experience.
