"88 Percent of Organizations Have Suffered Cyber Breaches in the Last Two Years"

Pentera surveyed 300 CIOs, CISOs, and security leaders from businesses in Europe and the US, revealing that a cyberattack had impacted 88 percent of organizations over the past two years. The Pentera study finds that this is the case despite companies employing an average of nearly 44 security solutions. While regulatory requirements first drove the need for penetration testing, the primary reasons for such testing today are security validation, potential damage assessment, and cyber insurance. With only 22 percent of respondents reporting compliance as their top reason for the activity, regulatory or executive obligations remain significant but are not the key driver of penetration testing. This article continues to discuss key findings from Pentera's survey of CIOs, CISOs, and security executives.
