"Cybersecurity Teams Are Overconfident of Their Ability to Deal With Threats"

Immersive Labs' research found that while businesses are confident in their overall resilience against cyberattacks, security teams are inadequately prepared for cyber threats. The study surveyed 316 global cybersecurity training strategy decision-makers in the UK, the US, Canada, Germany, and Sweden. Eighty-two percent agree that if they had been better prepared, they could have mitigated some to all of the damage caused by their most significant cyber incident over the past year. Over 80 percent of respondents do not believe or are uncertain that their teams have the capability to respond to future attacks. Only 17 percent of respondents believe their cybersecurity team is fully staffed, and nearly half confess they are unable to measure their cyber capabilities, further undermining confidence in their organization's readiness. This article continues to discuss the need for cyber leaders to have a more effective approach to building resilience.
