Cybersecurity touches every aspect of consumer and corporate culture today. Preventing, preparing for and responding to data breaches in real time is a chief concern for individuals, corporate leaders and government regulators.
The ACC Foundation, in collaboration with EY, is pleased to present the 2022 State of Cybersecurity Report, An In-house Perspective. Building on the results of the 2015, 2018, and 2020 editions of this survey, this report sheds light on the growing role that legal departments are playing in organization-wide cybersecurity policies and practices.
The data included in the report represents 265 companies in 17 industries and 24 countries around the world, providing a comprehensive understanding of how legal departments in organizations of different sizes engage in cybersecurity matters. The respondents' diversity allows us to learn lessons that can be applied on a global scale to face a threat that is also global in nature.
