Over the past two years, the average organization's cybersecurity program was prepared to preemptively defend against, or block, only 57% of the cyberattacks it experienced, according to Tenable.
Managing preventative cybersecurity tools requires a specialized workforce
The complexity of the infrastructure – with its reliance on multiple cloud systems, numerous identity and privilege management tools, and various web assets – provides numerous opportunities for misconfigurations and ignored assets.
Frequency of meetings on critical business systems
In one in two organizations, meetings on critical business systems occur monthly, while 18% hold such meetings only once a year, and 2% say they do not hold them at all.
