Many things have changed since 2018, such as the names of the companies in the Fortune 100 list. But one aspect of that vaunted list that hasn't shifted much since is that very few of these companies list any security professionals within their top executive ranks.

The next time you receive a breach notification letter that invariably says a company you trusted places a top priority on customer security and privacy, consider this: Only four of the Fortune 100 companies currently list a security professional in the executive leadership pages of their websites. This is actually down from five of the Fortune 100 in 2018, the last time KrebsOnSecurity performed this analysis.

somewhere in my archives is an article I wrote for a magazine in 2001 indicating that security issues would never be solved until responsibility for it was assigned at the level of the board of directors. Obviously, it's never happened, and corporations continue to get what they deserve by not, giving if the proper degree of respect we should dig out the article
