"Organizations' Cyber Resilience Efforts Fail to Keep Up With Evolving Threats"
According to Immersive Labs, a continuous increase in cyberattacks and changing threat landscape are causing more organizations to focus on creating long-term cyber resilience, but many of these programs fail to demonstrate teams' real-world cyber capabilities. Although 86 percent of organizations have a cyber resilience program, 52 percent of respondents say their organization lacks a comprehensive strategy for assessing cyber resilience. Increasing the cyber resilience of cybersecurity team members (83 percent) and the general workforce (75 percent) are cited as the two highest overall focus areas for organizations in 2023. Organizations have taken measures to deploy cyber resilience programs. However, 53 percent of respondents believe that the organization's workforce is unprepared for the next cyberattack. While cyber resilience is a priority and programs exist, these statistics indicate that their current structure and training are ineffective. This article continues to discuss key findings from the Cyber Workforce Resilience Trend Report.
