Study: Cyber risks overshadow corporate board security confidence

/in

Directors of U.S. businesses are pretty confident they can understand corporate security risks, but corporate security pros are not so sure their boards really get it, according to a survey of both board members and C-level security executives.

While 70% of board members say they understand the risks, only 43% of hired corporate security professionals agree, according to a Ponemon Institute study polling 245 board members and 409 IT security pros that was sponsored by Fidelis Cybersecurity.

Based on this finding the study concludes that, “more communication between the board and the IT function is sorely needed.”

There are other gaps between what board members think and what CIOs, CSOs and CISOs think. For example, 59% of board members say they believe their governance of cybersecurity practices is effective; only 18% of IT pros agree.

Study: Self-driving cars will make a lot of people sick

/in

A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute predicts that passengers in self-driving cars will be more likely to experience motion sickness than in traditional automobiles.

Specifically, the study estimates that anywhere between 6% and 10% of passengers would experience some level of motion sickness “often, usually, or always,” while as many as 12% would feel moderate or severe motion sickness “at some time.”

The researchers looked at the factors that contribute to motion sickness – “conflict between vestibular and visual inputs, inability to anticipate the direction of motion, and lack of control over the direction of motion” – and estimated how much more likely passengers would be to experience them while traveling in self-driving cars. They concluded that these factors “are elevated in self-driving vehicles.”
