As cybersecurity continues to become more of a mainstream business issue, CEOs, boards of directors and line-of-business leaders are becoming increasingly aware of the risks that cybersecurity vulnerabilities place on the enterprise.
As cybersecurity has become a priority for CEOs, Boards of Directors and line-of-business leaders, the role of the CISO has continued to evolve with CISOs taking on additional responsibilities. Senior leaders recognize that cybersecurity represents the greatest risk facing the business. As such, CISOs have increasingly become responsible for overseeing not just cyber-risk but enterprise-wide risk as well, according to HMG Strategy’s 2022 Research Agenda.

Perhaps someone at Google might explain the following: Suppose that a new Gmail account is established with a portion of the user ID seemingly matching some company name.
