A new IBM (NYSE: IBM)
study reveals a clear evolution in information security organizations
and their leaders with 25 percent of security chiefs surveyed shifting
from a technology focus to strategic business leadership role.

“Finding a strategic voice: Insights from the 2012 IBM Chief Information
Security Officer Assessment.”
Influencers are much more likely to have elevated information
security to a strategic priority, according to the IBM Center for
Applied Insights study, “Finding a strategic voice: Insights from the
2012 IBM Chief Information Security Officer Assessment.”
In IBM's first study of senior security executives, its Center for
Applied Insights interviewed more than 130 security leaders globally and
discovered three types of leaders based on breach preparedness and
overall security maturity. Representing about a quarter of those
interviewed, the "Influencer" senior security executives typically
influenced business strategies of their firms and were more confident
and prepared than their peers—the "Protectors" and "Responders."
