6 LESSONS FOR CYBERSECURITY LEADERS
he state of security is highly adrenalized
T these days – more so than usual. More than two years into the deadly and disruptive global pandemic, not only are we still seeing more attacks, we’ re also seeing more breaches.
Additionally, 40 % of respondents report a regulatory violation( up from 28 % a year ago). More and more sophisticated attacks, acute talent shortages and pandemic-specific challenges have SOCs reeling.
New global research conducted by Splunk and the Enterprise Strategy Group of more than 1,200 security leaders found that 49 % of organizations say they’ d suffered a data breach over the past two years, up from 39 % in our survey a year earlier. And while certain attack vectors dominated headlines in the last year or two, criminals are still finding success with traditional playbooks:
• 51 % report business email compromise, up from 42 % a year ago.
• 39 % of organizations report insider attacks, up from 27 % a year ago.
• 79 % say they’ ve encountered ransomware attacks, and 35 % admit one or more of those attacks led them to lose access to data and systems.
It’ s not clear whether these numbers are a sobering indication that attackers are significantly more successful today or if, as Splunk Distinguished Security Strategist Ryan Kovar notes, it’ s a question of causation versus correlation. Are intruders better at penetrating our defenses, or are security teams better at detecting intruders? The answer is probably“ both,” with offense and defense each improving aspects of their game.
