The
results of Ernst & Young’s 2003 Global Information Security
Survey were gleaned from the assistance of more than 1,400 organizations
whose executives ompleted the questionnaire over a two-month period
early in 2003. This was the sixth year in which we conducted the survey—to
take a snapshot of information security and explore its implications
for a broad spectrum of business and industry. The respondents, from
66 countries, were in a variety of senior management positions, but
the majority (60%) were chief information officers, chief information
security officers, and other information technology executives. We found
that the response profiles of the individual countries were remarkably
similar to one another. The survey asked 40 questions on all aspects
of information security. Question topics dealt with how information
security is situated and directed within the organization.
