The Top Four CISO Data Security Concerns and Deployment

Trends: 2017 RSA Survey Findings

For the third straight year, STEALTHbits Technologies surveyed attendees to the RSA
Conference, the cyber security industry’s top event.

STEALTHbits researchers and data security and governance experts gathered insights on five
key points from more than 300 security professionals, from several vertical industries including
technology, finance, government, healthcare, services, and education.

It will come as no surprise that the survey results reflect the challenges faced by security teams
today, the most important of which is securing sensitive data. The biggest issues that emerged
in the 2017 poll were:

• discovery of unstructured data,
• the massive amount of unclassified data,
• the lack of proper tools to mitigate risk,
• lack of budget, and hand-in-hand, the lack of resources.

Respondents ranked the following as their top six CISO priorities for 2017:

1. Threat Analytics

2. Identity and Access Management (IAM)

3. Active Directory (AD) Management and Security

4. Data Access Governance (DAG)

5. Compliance

6. Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
