2023: Charlton faculty complete study on organizations’ cyberattack preparedness

Companies move forward in their battle against cyber threats

Specifically, 550 management team members, across a variety of industries and company sizes, were asked about cybersecurity today, the level of risk to their companies, and what their organizations are doing to mitigate the risk.

The study was done by Associate Professor Timothy Shea (Management Information Systems) and Peter Karlson, a Charlton College of Business (CCB) Entrepreneurship Lecturer, Founder of NeuEon Inc., and CCB Advisory Board member. The study was co-sponsored by technology advisory firm, NeuEon, and the Charlton College of Business.
