The State Of Cybersecurity: Cyber Skills Gap Leaves Business Vulnerable To Attacks, New Research Reveals
IT Security Guru, Tuesday, October 3,2023
ISACA, the leading global professional association helping individuals and organisations in their pursuit of digital trust, today launches new research looking at the state of cybersecurity.
The research finds that of the cybersecurity professionals who said they were experiencing an increase or decrease in cybersecurity attacks as compared to a year ago, over half (52%) say they are experiencing more cyberattacks.
Though businesses recognise the increased threat, less than one in ten (8%) of the organisations who complete cyber risk assessments do these monthly while two in five (40%) conduct them annually. The failure to regularly assess cyber risk leaves organisations vulnerable to attacks and increases the risk of breaches going undetected for prolonged periods.
