The research was an effort to understand
the business alignment of
information security within large and
medium Indian organizations and
was not meant for getting into technologies,
solutions and tech-related
practices of businesses. There are
industry standard global surveys. The
only overlap with those surveys could
be a couple of questions about actual
security incidents that happened in
last 12 months and how they perceive
the probability in the next 12. (Chart I)
The research was conducted
among the participants of NEXTCSO
Conference organized by CSO Forum

employees. (Chart II)
