Executive Summary

Constella Intelligence and Pulse surveyed 100 global technology executives across all major industries – including financial services, technology, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications – across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Survey participants serve in senior leadership roles, specifically Vice Presidents and C-Suite level executives within their respective organizations. Their answers reflect an increased awareness of the rise in cyberattacks, mainly due to the move to a remote workforce resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and the severe risks associated with exposed personally identifiable information (PII), accounts, or financial information of organizations.

“Executive Blindspot: Why Monitoring The Dark Web Matters” survey report seeks to understand and
address the significance of cyberattacks for executive leadership and other key employees, the impact of cybercrime, and what measures leaders are taking to deal with these risks.
