A new survey from professional services firm EY shows many organisations failing to integrate cybersecurity into technology planning despite a continued increase in cyber attacks. The problem: poor integration of security into important business functions. The answer: give more power to chief information security officers and build cybersecurity into technology project planning and lifecycle management.

According to EY’s annual Global Information Security Survey of 1,300 cyber security leaders released in February, only 36 per cent of organisations integrate cybersecurity into the planning process for new technology initiatives. This is despite the fact that 60 per cent of those organisations reported an increase in disruptive attacks in the past year.
