CISOs in CG&S companies need to
address new threats from across the
value chain in:
• Product development
• Manufacturing
• Supply chain
• Customer operations
Inconsistent security maturity
Decades of M&A have taken their toll
of CG&S executives said that
“cyberattacks are a bit of a black box,
we do not quite know how or when
they will affect our organization.”

Build a business that is secure by design
Security technologies identified had a
negative value gap where the percentage
spending level is higher than the relative
value to the business.*
5/9
CG&S companies are under
pressure because:
• Spending priorities show that
investments are misdirected toward
security capabilities that fail to deliver
efficiency and effectiveness
• Security executives do not have the
visibility into the non-IT asset landscape
or the authority to impact risk outcomes
in these areas of the business

Three areas that can positively impact the
CG&S risk posture include:
Secure the journey to cloud
Build trust in direct-to-customer initiatives
Manage operational technology risk

Secure the journey to the cloud
of CG&S companies identified “better security”
as a benefit to be gained from cloud migration.
53%
To reduce costs, many CG&S
companies are moving to the
cloud. It offers an opportunity to:
• Re-examine the business—especially
applications, infrastructure, operations
and development processes
• Prioritize security around core assets
• “Design in” a control structure to
mitigate risks

Build trust in direct-to-consumer initiatives
of security breaches
experienced by CG&S
organizations have been
linked with customer
data in the last 12
months.
50%
A customer facing, data-driven
strategy can better inform the
business. It offers an opportunity to:
• Introduce cybersecurity early on in the process
to proactively mitigate risk
• Influence consumers’ purchasing decisions
through improved digital trust and privacy
• Be better prepared for regulatory demands

Manage operational technology risk
of CG&S executives said that
they had suffered interruption of
physical operations/shutdown
of assets as a result of a breach.
43%
As OT networks become less
isolated from IT networks, so their
vulnerabilities grow. Issues include:
• A lack of security accountability
• Inconsistent security processes
• Inconsistent technical controls
• Incomplete asset visibility

The nature of cyberattacks is shifting
of CG&S executives think they are protecting
their physical infrastructures/assets with their
cybersecurity strategy.

Security is
everyone’s business

cybersecurity budget
authorization is with the
CEO/Executive Committee,
more than the global average.

of CG&S executives recognize
they need to improve on cyber
threat analytics and 46% on
security monitoring—the
“basics” of security programs.
50%
A cultural mind-set shift is
required so that:
• CISOs can become trusted business
partners
• Business leaders responsible for funding can
better understand security priorities
• Security can be a business and revenue
enabler as well as driving out risk
