The fifth annual Global Security Survey benchmarks IT security in the financial services industry. It reveals the “Security Paradox” – a situation in which Business Executives are becoming more aware of IT Security issues, but where support for a solution still lies with the IT department. This is highlighted by the fact that only 63% of respondents have an information security strategy, and only 10% have information security led by a business line leader.
Other findings of this year’s survey include:
| • | 91 percent of participants are concerned about employee security weaknesses; |
| • | 79 percent of participants cite the human factor as the root cause of information security failures; |
| • | 66 percent of participants do not feel they should be accountable for protecting computers of customers who transact with them on-line. |
