Zurich Insurance's seventh annual Advisen Cyber Survey is out for 2017. The Information Security and Cyber Risk Management survey identified and analyzed the trends and current state of cyber risk based on responses from 315 risk professionals. The study is designed to provide a benchmark for future cyber risk preparedness and response strategies.

The 2017 report and its key findings were presented at the Advisen Cyber Risk Insights Conference in New York on October 26, and the results are worrying some researchers. For the first time in the survey's seven-year history, there has been a significant decline in how seriously C-suites and business executives view cyber risk, even as the nature of cyber attacks and risks have evolved.
