Goldsmiths University has launched an academic report on how lack of board accountability is opening up businesses to cyber-attacks. The report has been developed with cyber security firm Tanium and looks at why security chiefs are struggling to demonstrate the importance of cyber protection measures to their board members, primarily due to the lack of accountability for this issue.

Key findings include:

• 40% of non-exec directors and C-suite don't feel responsible for the repercussions of cyberattacks
• 91% of the most vulnerable board members cannot interpret a cybersecurity report (in the same way they might read a financial report)
• CIOs are 50% more likely to be aware of the implications of a breach than non-exec directors.
