They are the 11 percent (or less) who really get security
“With that increased risk environment, one would hope enterprises are becoming more strategic in how they deal with the challenges. But that’s sadly not the case, according to this year’s annual Global Information Security Survey, conducted by CSO and CIO magazines in partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers. More than 9,600 business and technology executives from around the world took the survey, and 43 percent of them believe their organizations are IT security leaders.
….
“There are two ways to look at that data,” says Daniel Kennedy, research director for information security and networking at the research firm TheInfoPro. “You can be glad they’re confident about their security posture, they must have some reason behind that. I do wonder however, if there is something along the lines of the Dunning-Krueger bias, in which unskilled people make poor decisions but don’t realize their own incompetence.”"

Laggard to leader: What it takes to get there
TheInfoPro’s Kennedy says that to get there, the first step is to build credibility.
“If management doesn’t trust the CISO, then they don’t have the right guy. The security leader is someone functioning on the executive level, someone who can speak IT in business terms, and somebody who really effects cultural change in the company,” he says.
“That means there should be a difference between the day they started and a year and a half later in terms of the way the company views security. If they’re not getting that, you don’t have a security leader. What you have is somebody who is sort of just sitting around in the role,” says TheInfoPro’s Kennedy.

July #SecChat Recap – Security Conferences
“Many participants recommended smaller conferences for their ability to organize quickly, which in turn allows them to deliver more timely information. @gattaca recommended BSides, SchmooCon and DefCon as conferences that are more likely to have current information, while @danielkennedy74 noted that though smaller conferences have a community feel, they also tend to be quickly overwhelmed.”
