Survey Result: Ceos behind data breaches should be jailed
An international survey of 107 security professionals conducted by Websense at this year’s e-Crime Congress reveals a quarter of respondents believe the arrest and jail sentence for the CEO or Board member responsible would be a fitting punishment for a serious company data breach that exposes consumers’ confidential data...

Only 3 percent did not believe there should be any legally enforced punishment. 79 percent of respondents believe companies experiencing serious breaches should be fined and 59 percent feel compensation should be given to consumers affected. Respondents almost unanimously (96 percent) called for an enforcing body that obliges global governments to work together to address cybercrime. Survey respondents came from 15 countries. All were amongst the delegates who attended the e-Crime Congress on 5 and 6 March 2008. These included security professionals from government and public and private sector organisations, as well as senior managers charged with responsibility for risk, audit and compliance. “This survey indicates a strengthening opinion for action to be taken against cybercrime and data loss on a broader scale than ever before,” said Phil Vasic, ANZ Country Manager, Websense.
