Clorox’s Cyber-Slip: A $500 Million Stain That Even Their Best Bleach Can’t Wipe Out!

Clorox’s $500 million cyber-bungle is a bleach-stain on Corporate Cyber Governance Failures. CEO gets a new title, CISO gets the boot, and the IT department is once again the fall guy. It’s like handing cybersecurity to a vegan at a BBQ contest. Clorox, it seems the buck stops…somewhere else.

Hot Take:

Clorox's recent cyber-bungle has left a stain that even their best bleach can't clean. Despite a cyberattack causing a whopping $500 million dent in revenues, it's business as usual at the Clorox boardroom. CEO Linda Randle got a pat on the back with a new title, while the Chief Information Security Officer, Amy Bogac, got the boot. Proof that in the corporate world, the IT department is always the designated fall guy.
