Identity crisis: the disconnect between business and IT executives

Abstract

Perceptions about information security threats vary: what one person sees as a major menace another may view as little more than a nuisance. But while it might be normal for one company to regard the threat landscape differently from another, there can be problems when these mismatched perspectives exist within the same organisation. And as Barry Scott, CTO at Centrify EMEA, explains in this interview, if the C-suite is not getting the right picture, that can lead to dangerously skewed priorities and security strategies.
