Many Organizations Still Opt for “Good Enough” Cybersecurity
Late last year, ESG published a research report titled, Through the Eyes of Cyber Security Professionals, in collaboration with the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA). As part of this report, 437 cybersecurity professionals and ISSA members were asked if they’d experienced a number of types of security incidents. The research revealed that:
- 39% of organizations experienced one or several security incidents resulting in the need to reimage one or several endpoints or servers.
- 27% of organizations experienced one or several incidents of ransomware.
- 20% of organizations experienced one or several incidents resulting in the disruption of a business application.
- 19% of organizations experienced one or several incidents resulting in the disruption of a business process.
It should be noted that between 23% and 30% of the survey population responded “don’t know” or “prefer not to say” when asked about different types of security incidents so the percentages represented above are likely much higher.
