AI Summary

A disconnect exists between cybersecurity leaders and their boards of directors, with each side citing a need for more support to improve communication and collaboration. This gap in understanding is occurring despite escalating threats that are prompting boards to prioritize security. The issue is not that boards are ignoring security concerns, but rather that they may not fully comprehend the complexities of cybersecurity. The result is a situation where both sides are seeking more support, with boards looking for better communication from security teams and those teams seeking more resources and authority to address growing threats.
