A new (ISC)² study provides insights for cybersecurity professionals into the minds of C-suite executives and how they perceive their organisations’ readiness for ransomware attacks. This data underscores the need for clearer and more frequent communications between cybersecurity teams and executives and offers best practices security leaders should implement to improve those interactions.

The data shows that while executive confidence about ransomware defences remains high, there is a strong willingness to invest in technology and staff.
