While cybersecurity budgets and involvement are rising, information sharing is still low.

[Infosecurity Magazine Explains:](http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/just-a-quarter-of-orgs-share/)

> According to BDO Technology Advisory Services’ [2016 Board Survey](https://www.bdo.com/insights/assurance/client-advisories/2016-board-survey), a heartening 80% of directors say they have increased company investments in cybersecurity over the last year, with an average budget expansion of 22%.
> 
> And, 74% of public company directors report that their board is more involved with cybersecurity than it was 12 months ago.
> 
> This is the third consecutive year that board members have reported increases in time and dollars spent on cybersecurity; and, the survey identified improvements in the number of boards with cyber-breach response plans in place (from 45% to 63%). 
> 
> "Over the past three years, the BDO Board Survey has documented the ascension of cybersecurity up the boardroom agenda,” said Shahryar Shaghaghi, [BDO Technology Advisory Services](http://www.bdo.com/) national leader and head of International BDO Cybersecurity. “Corporate directors are being briefed more often and are responding with increased budgets to address this critical area.”
