Digital security report urges IT leaders to convince company boards that cyber security is a board-level problem
Given the recent spate of high-profile cyber breaches, such as the attack on Jaguar Land Rover that halted production and required a government bailout, Microsoft's 2025 Digital security report is urging IT departments to ensure cyber risk is managed at boardroom level.
Microsoft recommended that IT leaders treat cyber security as a business risk on par with financial or legal challenges. 'It is important that corporate boards and CEOs understand the security weaknesses of their organisation,' it said in the report.
