Hey Ms./Mr. CISO - is the status quo REALLY working?
Why do organizations [in today's environment] still believe that their current processes from yesteryear are still the best way to manage their business (and not willing to tear down obstacles to evolve)?

I think that a few different things might be at work here. First, I am not sure they think that the old ways work fine; I think it is much more likely that nothing has happened that proves that they do not in fact work well enough and this allows the old ways to remain in place IAW the old philosophy of "if it ain't broke...". The second thing that may be happening is that things have been running smoothly enough (with only the occasional upset) that cybersecurity problems are never serious enough that they rise on priorities list to require serious attention. There is always an undercurrent of not wanting to rock the boat, avoid changing things that seem fine in situ, or stay focused on other matters that at present appear more important; which is the fantasy many executives live believing they are fine and sufficiently well-protected when the reality is that they a just plain lucky living in the house of cards they do - the rush of Hacker Wind has simply not hit them yet. Not Yet, but it will.
