A new research study from Ounce Labs indicates some interesting facts about CEOs and other top management at large organizations. The study indicates there is a perception gap between security expectations of CEOs versus other C-level executives, including CIOs. Here's an overview of the facts:

CEOs don't know how often they are attacked:

• 82% of all C-level execs reported their organization had suffered a breach
• 50% of all C-level execs reported attacks occur on a daily or hourly basis
• 48% of CEOs believe their organizations are rarely attacked

Small Business owners need to understand the importance of Corporate Reputation and Brand Protection. Website Integrity Monitoring helps protect small businesses from such a loss. 

CEOs care more about loss of corporate reputation:

• 68% of CEOs consider the CIO responsible for information security
• 24% of other C-level executives consider the CIO responsible for information security
• Most CEOs consider themselves responsible for maintaining a trusted reputation and protecting the brand

Most executives believe there will be more attacks:

• 64% of executives believe their organizations will be breached in the next 12 months

This study drives home the importance that large organization CEOs place on brand reputation. Small Business owners and managers need to consider these findings relative to their own organizations and ask if they are protecting their assets, including corporate reputation and their brand from loss.
