I'm not a fan of the horror movie genre. I also stay away from roller coasters and fast cars. My reasoning is quite simple: Why would I intentionally do something to scare myself?
But last week I did a scary thing. While at CSC's Future Focus user conference, I sat in on a session given by CSC's Bryant Tow: Cyber Security: Threats, Trends, and Solutions. Tow told some truly scary stories over the course of an hour, but what was most bothersome to all of us was the fact there were less than a dozen people in the meeting room to hear his dire warnings.
As Tow explained—and it seemed pretty obvious from the turnout—most insurers are oblivious to the threat their companies face. He told of meeting with one CIO of a good-sized company who explained he has one fulltime and one part-time employee in charge of cyber security for his company.
