regulated internal groups including
finance (12%) and legal (6%) were the
most secure
• The great divide: Security technology
continues to operate in isolation, with
81% reporting separate policies or
management consoles for cloud access
security broker (CASB) and data loss
prevention (DLP), resulting in delayed
detection and remediation actions
• Taking responsibility: There is a rift
in regard to accountability – 55% of
IT professionals believe that c-level
executives should lose their job if a
breach is serious enough, yet 61% also
state that the c-level executives they work
with expect more lenient security policies
for themselves.
• Future proofing: IT professionals are
taking action, with almost two-thirds
stating they have purchased additional
DLP, CASB and endpoint detection
solutions over the last 12 months.
Respondents believe that between 65
and 80% of breaches experienced
would have likely been prevented if
one or more of these systems had
been installed

The stakes are higher as multiple attack
methods are now used in a breach as
cybercriminals continue to target personal
data and intellectual property.
Furthermore, IT security teams are
increasingly concerned about external threat
actors compromising their network, which
has forced more organisations to publicly
disclose when breaches occur.
The severity of publicly disclosing breaches
results not only in financial repercussions but
damage to brand and reputation as well. n
