IBM this week released the results of a study examining cyber resilience in companies across the world. Their finding confirms a slew of other studies showing how unprepared companies are for potential cyberattacks on their most sensitive data and digital infrastructure.
As the report found, “nearly half of the 2800 respondents reported that their incident response plan is either informal/ad hoc or completely non-existent,” and 69 percent report funding for cyber resiliency is insufficient.
The findings continue:
“Despite this lack of formal planning, 72 percent of organizations report feeling more Cyber Resilient today than they were last year. Highly resilient organizations (61 percent) attribute their confidence to their ability to hire skilled personnel – but organizations need both technology and people to be Cyber Resilient. In fact, 60 percent of respondents consider a lack of investment in AI and machine learning as the biggest barrier to Cyber Resilience.
This confidence may be misplaced, with the analysis revealing that 57 percent of respondents said the time to resolve an incident has increased, while 65 percent reported the severity of the attacks has increased. These areas represent some of the key factors impacting overall cyber resiliency. These problems are further compounded by just 31 percent of those surveyed having an adequate Cyber Resilience budget in place and difficulty retaining and hiring IT Security professionals (77 percent).”
