A new study reveals gaps in cybersecurity preparedness, with one in three organizations failing to detect a breach in the past 12 months and only 25% able to respond in real time.
Santa Clara, California, June 18, 2024–(Business Wire)–GigamonThe leader in deep observability today announced Hybrid Cloud Security Reporthas revealed vulnerabilities in organizations’ preparedness to face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and attacks. The annual survey of more than 1,000 security and IT leaders in Australia, France, Germany, Singapore, the UK and the US revealed a decline in detection and response capabilities year-on-year compared to the company’s own survey. 2023 Hybrid Cloud Security ReportAs hybrid cloud environments become more complex and threat actors launch more covert attacks, 65 percent of respondents believe that their existing security tools are unable to effectively detect breaches.
Security and IT leaders are at a crossroads. The threat of AI-enabled cyber attacks is looming globally. 82 percent 50% of respondents expect AI to increase the global ransomware threat, yet global information security spending will grow by 2020 $215 billion In 2024, half (54 percent) of organizations feel “very well prepared” to deal with unauthorized access to their hybrid cloud environments.
CISOs turn to boards to prioritize encrypted visibility to address today’s threats
The survey also delves into the insights of 234 CISOs across the globe. The results show that CISOs continue to be overwhelmed by regulatory and technology pressures, 69 percent Of CISOs who report struggling to detect encrypted threats are: 59 percent Overall respondents. Worrying 70 percent 70% of CISOs believe their tools are not effective enough at detecting breaches, resulting in: 59 percent Those who said they would be most empowered by cyber risk becoming a board priority are:
Key findings highlight gaps in cybersecurity preparedness
Most organizations report significant visibility gaps. The complexity of modern hybrid cloud infrastructure contributes to a lack of control for organizations. Three-quarters of 50% of respondents agree that east-west (lateral) visibility is more important than north-south visibility in cloud security, but 40 percent Visualize east-west traffic conditions, 48 percent Encrypted traffic through 2023 is another major blind spot. 83 percent When we explain that visibility into encrypted traffic is a priority, we get a shocking 76 percent Currently, we believe that encrypted traffic is safe.
Organizations are unprepared for today’s sophisticated attacks. Survey respondents commonly acknowledged weaknesses in their threat detection toolstacks. 25 percent In recent breaches, they were able to remediate real threats; when the tools fail, organizations face more severe consequences. 31 percent The organization only discovered the recent breach after receiving extortion threats from its adversaries. 31 percent The breach was discovered when confidential information was leaked onto the dark web. 25 percent Respondent’s was ultimately unable to identify the root cause of the breach.
Deep observability is considered central to modern IT success. If a breach is missed, your tooling strategy will certainly come into focus. 8 out of 10 We agree that achieving unified visibility into hybrid cloud infrastructure is key to preventing attacks. 6 out of 10 We believe that by increasing visibility into all data, we will be able to safely introduce AI technology. 80 percent I agree that deep observability – providing intelligence from the network to log-based security tools – is now a board-level priority.
Regulation and boardroom pressure are driving Zero Trust as a priority. Survey results show that zero trust is moving from best practice to necessity. 64 percent of respondents expect it to become mandatory within the next two years. Three-quarters of They report that Zero Trust has become a board priority. 8 out of 10 They have identified Zero Trust as one of their key priorities for the next 18 months.
“It’s clear that organizations’ tool stacks are inadequate, allowing threat actors to exploit blind spots and extort victims without fear of detection,” said Chaim Mazar, CSO at Gigamon. 1 in 4 Organizations can detect and remediate real-time threats. Without real-time intelligence and insight from the network into all data in motion, including east-west and encrypted traffic, bad actors will continue to wreak havoc and AI will accelerate their activities.”
