Case Study Deep Instinct: ‘Dangerous Disconnects: The Pitfalls of CFO and CISO Cyber Risk Misalignment’

This project sought to examine how different stakeholders within enterprises quantify risk and the decision-making process behind paying a ransom. After hearing anecdotally that some organisations have started to add a line into their budgets for the paying of a ransomware demand, we decided to examine how well businesses plan for the possibility of a damaging cyber-attack.  

We examined how proficient companies are at quantifying potential costs and how they currently seek to mitigate the potential damage. The research, which was devised and project managed by the Code Red team, was developed in two phases:

Phase One – Qualitative interviews of 30-45 minutes each with four CROs and four CFOs of mid to large sized businesses (250+ employees).
Phase Two – Quantitative research amongst 100 senior IT security decision makers and 100 senior financial decision makers. 

To support the launch of the research to the media, alongside a formal press release and subsequent media interviews and thought leadership pieces, Code Red wrote an eBook and accompanying blog.

The campaign had an impact!
