When we look at the survey in this light, we see an opportunity emerge—a moment for business leaders to take a step back and ask: how can we do things better?",

It is the case for cybersecurity, which many firms have relegated to the CIO's domain when what's actually needed is a strategic approach aimed at taming corporate complexity while establishing a framework for governance and shared responsibility.",

It will be enabled by a continuation of companies' pandemic-induced digital acceleration, which promises productivity and other business benefits, but also increases the threat of cyberattack and the spread of misinformation. Although CEOs' confidence in their own company's revenue prospects has rebounded, they are anxious, too: about the trajectory of the pandemic, tax and regulatory policy uncertainty, and, to a slightly lesser extent, climate change.",
