The challenge of preventive cybersecurity

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.

Preventive security is no longer optional

“Preventive security is no longer an optional approach to risk management, but a prerequisite,” said Robert Huber, chief security officer and head of research at Tenable.
