One-in-five security professionals won ’ t bet a chocolate bar they could prevent a damaging breach
vanti , a provider of the Ivanti Neurons automation
I platform that discovers , manages , secures and services IT assets from cloud to Edge , has announced the results of its State of Security Preparedness 2023 study .
Ivanti worked with cybersecurity experts and surveyed 6,500 executive leaders , cybersecurity professionals and office workers to understand the perception of today ’ s cybersecurity threats and find out how companies are preparing for yetunknown future threats .
The report revealed that despite a stunning 97 % of leaders and security professionals reporting their organisation is as
prepared or more prepared to defend against cybersecurity attacks than they were a year ago , one-in-five wouldn ’ t bet a chocolate bar they could prevent a damaging breach .
In fact , the study finds that organisations are racing to fortify against cyberattacks , but the industry still struggles with a reactive , checklist mentality . This is most pronounced in how security teams are prioritising patches . While 92 % of security professionals reported they have a method to prioritise patches , they also indicated that all types of patches rank high – meaning none do .
“ Patching is not nearly as simple as it sounds ,” said Srinivas Mukkamala , Chief Product Officer at Ivanti . “ Even well-staffed , well-funded IT and security teams experience prioritisation challenges amidst other pressing demands . To reduce risk without increasing workload , organisations must implement a risk-based patch management solution and leverage automation to identify , prioritise and even address vulnerabilities without excess manual intervention .”
