Expel financed the project and co-developed the questionnaire with CSA research analysts. The survey was conducted online by CSA in May of 2023 and received 1018 responses from IT and security professionals from organizations of various sizes and locations. CSA’s research analysts performed the data analysis and interpretation for this report.
