Poll Says Half of CSO Subscribers Believe Major Cyber Attack is Imminent
Almost half of 1,009 subscribers of the new magazine CSO believe
that a major cyber attack from terrorists will occur during the
next year. Those polled are largely US and Canadian CSOs. The
magazine's editor in chief says the fear of the cyber attacks is
based on the plausibility of such attacks occurring rather than on
hard intelligence. Nearly all of those polled say vendors need to
improve product security.
