Data breaches of information technology (IT) resources are a concern that impacts society and places the IT practitioner and supporting systems as targets for bad actors. There is national interest from an economic perspective, and citizens are concerned and impacted whenever their data is compromised in either the private or public sector. Grounded in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to explore strategies used by some senior IT executives to protect their organizations' IT resources from potential data breaches. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews of six participants and the review of 18 industry documents. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, which yielded the following major themes: (a) strategic guidance (top-down), (b) operational management (top-down), (c) tactical reporting and execution (bottom-up), and (d) operational collection and reporting (bottom-up). A key recommendation to senior IT executives is to ensure the creation of strategic edicts that support consistent metrics over asset management are captured to increase situational awareness to mitigate the impacts of a data breach. The implications for positive social change include the potential for senior IT executives to successfully protect their information systems from data breaches, which may give their employees, customers, and the general public a greater sense that their private data are secured.
