Based on a comprehensive survey of 5,000 IT managers across 26 countries,\u00a0Cybersecurity: The Human Challenge<\/a>\u00a0provides brand new insights into the state of cybersecurity skills and resources across the globe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It reveals\u00a0the realities facing IT teams when it comes to the human-led delivery of cybersecurity, and explores how organizations are responding to the skills challenges they face.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study also exposes unique insights into the relationship between an organization falling victim to ransomware and their day-to-day cybersecurity practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key findings<\/span><\/h2>\n

IT teams are showing progress in many battles<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • IT teams are on top of patching<\/span>. Three-quarters of IT teams apply patches to desktops, servers, applications, and internet-facing assets within a week of release. Servers and internet-facing assets are patched most quickly, with 39% of respondents patching them within 24 hours.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Prevention is prioritized.\u00a0<\/span>On average, IT teams dedicate nearly half their time (45%) to prevention. After that, 30% of time is spent on detection and the remaining 25% is spent on response.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • IT managers are keeping up to date with cybersecurity.<\/span>\u00a0The majority (72%) say that they and their teams are up to date with or ahead of cybersecurity threats. Just 11% think they are significantly behind.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Improving cybersecurity requires people \u2013 who are in short supply<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • There is an urgent need for human-led threat hunting<\/span>. Forty-eight percent of respondents have already incorporated human-led threat hunts in their security procedures and a further 48% plan to implement them within a year.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The cybersecurity skills shortage is directly implementing protection.<\/span>\u00a0Over a quarter (27%) of managers said their ability to find and retain skilled IT security professionals is the single biggest challenge to their ability to deliver IT security, while 54% say it is a major challenge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Organizations are changing the ways they deliver security<\/span><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Improving operational efficiency is a key priority<\/span>. Four in ten (39%) respondents said that improving operational efficiency and scalability is one of their biggest priorities for the IT team this year.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Outsourcing IT security is rising fast<\/span>. Currently, 65% outsource some or all of their IT security efforts. This is set to rise to 72% by 2022. The percentage of organizations that exclusively uses in-house staffing will drop from 34% to 26%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Ransomware victims display different behaviors and attitudes than those who haven\u2019t been hit<\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Ransomware victims are more exposed to infection from third parties.\u00a0<\/span>Twenty-nine percent of organizations hit by ransomware in the last year allow five or more suppliers to connect directly to their network \u2013 compared to just 13% for those that weren\u2019t hit.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • Ransomware damages professional confidence.\u00a0<\/span>IT managers whose organizations were hit by ransomware are nearly three times as likely to feel \u201csignificantly behind\u201d on cyberthreats than those that weren\u2019t (17% vs. 6%).<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Being hit accelerates implementation of human-led threat hunting.\u00a0<\/span>Forty-three percent of ransomware victims plan to implement human-led hunting within six months, compared to 33% for those that didn\u2019t suffer an attack.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Victims have learned the importance of skilled security professionals.\u00a0<\/span>More than one-third (35%) of ransomware victims said recruiting and retaining skilled IT security professionals is their\u00a0single biggest challenge\u00a0<\/em>when it comes to cybersecurity, compared to just 19% who hadn\u2019t been hit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
