Cyber Attacks Mostly Happen in Critical Infrastructures Due to Insufficient Budget
Crast.Net – Ryan Green
Here is a summary of the key points:
– Kaspersky surveyed IT security professionals on employee impact on cybersecurity. 15% of companies worldwide faced incidents in the last 2 years due to insufficient security budgets.
– 78% of respondents said their cybersecurity budget equips them to prevent new threats, but 21% said funds are insufficient to maintain infrastructure properly.
– Top planned security investments are threat detection software, staff/specialist training, endpoint protection, hiring IT staff, and adopting SaaS solutions.
– Companies should align cyber budget to business strategy and treat it as a business goal with demonstrable ROI.
– Kaspersky recommends advanced anomaly control, easy-to-manage solutions, staff training, expert help, and assessments to identify vulnerabilities and make the case for security investment.
In summary, many companies still face cyber incidents due to constrained security budgets and see room for more investment.
Prioritizing threat detection, training, cloud adoption and expert guidance can maximize the impact of available cybersecurity funds.
