Sep 16, 2024 By Sanskriti Jain In Astra
Cybersecurity is no longer an awareness issue but a strategic execution problem. In 2023, 96% of CEOs acknowledged cybersecurity’s importance for organizational growth, stability, and competitiveness, but only 15% had dedicated board meetings to discuss cybersecurity issues.
