Professional services firm PwC surveyed over 1,600 CEOs from around the world and found that cyber attacks have become the most feared threat for large organisations – and that many have taken actions around their personal use of technology to help protect against hackers.
A total of 80 per cent of those surveyed listed cyber threats as the biggest threat to their business, making it the thing that most CEOs are worried about, ranking ahead of skills (79 per cent) and the speed of technological change. (75 per cent)
48 per cent CEOs surveyed said the risk of cyber attacks had caused them to alter their own personal digital behaviour, such as deleting social media accounts or virtual assistant applications or requesting a company to delete their data.
