RE:https://www.retarus.com/blog/en/alarming-cybersecurity-stati Warning managment for over 25 years .... we were still using 1200 baud modems and all this connectivity was inevitable.. read the stats.... quite remarkable. Like this just became a problem.
Warning and warnings. whos accountable? No one. Until charges are layed and penalties become real -
BB should be valued through the roof.... Companies still mulling and in many cases as it reads ...are getting away with what is criminal.
This article reads from 2020 statitics of professional.... whos listening? No answers on the pagasus project... creeping on anyones devices it seems... but then again so is facebook or whatsapp - same %hi&
Poor State of Cybersecurity Readiness
Despite all the warnings and high-profile breaches, the state of readiness for most companies when it comes to cybersecurity is abysmal:
- nearly 80% of senior IT employees and security leaders believe their companies lack sufficient protection against cyber-attacks despite increased IT security investments made in 2020
- on average, every employee has access to 11 million files – but only 5% of companies’ folders are properly protected
- just 57% of companies conducted a data security risk assessment in 2020
- more than 77% of organizations do not have an incident response plan
- more than 93% of healthcare organizations reported at least one security breach in the last three years
Severe Lack of Cybersecurity Measures
With those potential losses looming, enterprises are realizing they have to spend money to protect themselves and are planning their budgets accordingly. But a lot remains to be done:
- in 2019, 60% of breaches exploited vulnerabilities for which a patch was available but not applied
- almost 50% of business PCs that got infected once in 2019 were re-infected within the same year
- 40% of IT leaders say cybersecurity job positions are the most difficult to fill
- smaller organizations (1–250 employees) have the highest targeted malicious email rate at 1 in 323
- 66% of companies will be spending some of their increased budget to comply with laws and regulations – many of these companies complain that compliance mandates are a “distraction” from executing strategic plans
