VENAFI SURVEY SHOWS 87% OF
SECURITY PROFESSIONALS SAY
WORLD IS AT CYBERWAR
enafi, a leading provider of
machine identity protection,
has announced the results
of a survey on cyberwar and
offensive hacking that evaluated
the opinions of 517 IT security
professionals attending the RSA
Conference 2019.

According to the survey, a total of
87% of respondents say the world is
currently in the middle of a cyberwar.
“It’s clear that security professionals
feel under siege,” said Kevin Bocek,
Vice President of Security Strategy
and Threat Intelligence at Venafi.
“With the increasing sophistication
and frequency of cyberattacks
targeting businesses, everyone
is involved in cyberwar.” Additional
findings include:
• A total of 72% believe nation-states
should have the right to ‘hack back’
by targeting cybercriminals who level
attacks on their infrastructure
• A total of 58% believe private
organisations have the right to
‘hack back’
Bocek added: “Even with the most
sophisticated security technology, it’s
nearly impossible to be certain about
attack attribution because attackers
are adept at using a wide range of
technologies to mislead security
professionals. For many organisations, it
would be better to focus on establishing
stronger defence mechanisms.”
