In a recent survey of more than 500 C-level executives across Europe and the United States, nearly half of top executives are concerned about a disruptive company entering their industry and cutting into their market share. Even more interesting given recent concerns about data security from the retail industry to politics, nearly half of respondents (45.2 percent) do not rank data security as one of their top three business priorities.
