Recap: CEO Pay Raise After Data Breach, Cobalt Elite Status & More

  • They should be looking at the CIO and CTO salary for data breaches, not CEO. Do people really think CEO's touch anything to do with all that stuff? Elon Musk isn't spending 3 hours every week asking his employees if they have any passwords that are admin or calling up security firms around the country.

    • CEOs ultimately hire CTO/CIO etc. Often CIOs get screwed in budgets compliments of COO, CFO, and CMO. They then get fired when they fail to manage the threats they face from a security perspective because of an unwillingness by the business to listen to their dire warnings. Although no doubt some CIOs are useless overpaid bobble heads and exacerbate the issue of being a cost center.

    • That's right, Elon is busy touring the production line and demeaning and randomly firing random employees who look at him weird.

  • DOC, obviously pay should rise after data breaches, the CEO role is much harder when all your customers are angry at you. Not to mention they now need to worker harder to justify slashing the IT budget even more.
