The CEO, of course. Who else is going to take the fall when the shareholders start throwing rotten tomatoes? I bet the CISO is already updating their resume.

Hmm, tricky one. I'd go with the CEO, but I bet the CFO is secretly hoping the blame lands on the CIO. 'Not my fault, I'm just the money guy!' *wink wink*

I'd say the CISO. They're the one in charge of the company's cybersecurity strategy and implementation. If there's a breach, it's their head on the chopping block, not the CEO's.

Definitely the CEO. They're the one who sets the tone and is ultimately responsible for the company's security posture. The other options are just playing a supporting role.
