HIGH PERFORMANCE SECURITY REPORT 2016

PERCEPTION VS.

REALITY

Organizations are confident in their ability to protect themselves, yet breach rates are alarmingly high.




We recently surveyed 2,000 security executives at large, global enterprises and found that about one in three focused, targeted breach attempts succeeded.

Still, 75 percent of respondents were “confident” they were doing the right things with their security strategies, and a similar number said security is “completely embedded” in their cultures, with support from the highest-level executives.

Clearly, there’s a disconnect.

Surviving in this increasingly risky environment requires a cybersecurity “re-boot” to embrace an end-to-end approach that recognizes a spectrum of threats, minimizes exposure and identifies high-priority assets. This takes a few fundamental steps.

An organization will face over a hundred focused, targeted breach attempts every year… one in three of these will result in a successful security breach.
