A leaders ( 96 %) globally are concerned their organisation will be unable to maintain Business Continuity following a cyberattack , according to a new study released by Rubrik , a Zero Trust data security company . The State of Data Security by Rubrik Zero Labs : The Hard Truths of Data Security provides a unique view into the data security landscape , what IT and security leaders experienced and struggled with in 2022 and the actions and steps they are taking to establish real cyber-resilience .
Rubrik Zero Labs commissioned its second global study with Wakefield Research to gather insights from more than 1,600 IT and security leaders – half of which were CIOs and CISOs – across 10 countries . Supplemented by Rubrik telemetry , key findings of the report include :
Everyone is ‘ doing ’ data security , but reality and results vary :
Legacy data backups , the last line of defence for many , are falling short :
• Almost all ( 99 %) of external organisations reported having backup and recovery technology , with 93 % encountering significant issues with their solution .
• Nine out of 10 external organisations reported malicious actors attempted to impact data backups during a cyberattack and 73 % were at least partially successful in these attempts .
• Nearly three-quarters ( 72 %) of organisations reported paying a ransomware demand .
• Only 16 % of all global organisations recovered all of their data via attacker decryption tools .
New and constantly evolving problems are met with the existing challenges pre-dating an intrusion :
• Almost half ( 47 %) of IT and security leaders believe their 2023 cybersecurity budget is not enough of an investment .
• Over a quarter ( 27 %) expect their IT and cybersecurity budgets to decrease in 2023 .
• IT and security leaders will need to work at bringing their teams together with only 4 % stating there are no factors limiting the IT and security alignment requiring their attention this year .
“ It ’ s clear organisations understand the gravity and impact of cyber incidents , but we also see a range of roadblocks from a lack of preparation , misalignment between IT and security teams and over-reliance on insufficient backup and recovery solutions ,” said Steven Stone , Head of Rubrik Zero Labs . “ In the current era of cybersecurity , the best outcome is ensuring cyber-resilience . Incidents are inevitable , so it ’ s critical to reduce the risk before a response is needed and – at all costs – protect the crown jewel : the data .” u
• Data security is becoming increasingly complex and the datasets that require securing are growing rapidly . Rubrik internal data revealed that , on average , the growth of data secured in 2022 was 25 % ( on-premises grew 19 %, cloud grew 61 % and SaaS data secured grew 236 % last year ).
• More than half ( 56 %) of organisations currently employ at least one Zero Trust initiative .
• However , only 56 % of IT and security leaders developed or reviewed an incident response plan in 2022 and 54 % tested backup and recovery options . intelligent DATA SECURITY www . intelligentciso . com
