Contingency Disaster
The Dark Web represents a big risk for businesses of all sizes. It is home to the data stolen by hackers where it is sold for pennies. According to the FBI more than 80% of businesses have been hacked and less than 10% of those businesses are aware that they have been hacked.
Cyber security technologies and practices are constantly evolving to help organizations defend against persistent and increasingly malicious cyber threats. But there's more work to be done. Notable disconnects have emerged between ever-shifting cyber security threats and organizations' countermeasures. Ponemon Institute estimates the average cost of a data breach in 2017 was $3.6 million.
AT&T’s 2017 Global State of Cyber security survey uncovers some critical gaps in current cyber security strategy that, if left unchecked, could provide an open door to cyber criminals:
• Twenty-eight percent of organizations appear to view cyber insurance as a substitute for cyber defense investment, rather than as one component of a multilayered cyber security strategy.
• Two-thirds of organizations say their in-house cyber security capabilities are adequate to protect against cyber threats, yet nearly 80% say they have been breached within the past year.
• Just 61% of organizations mandate cyber security awareness training for all employees, while more than half admit to breaches from employee mobile devices infected with malware.
If there is one thing government technology professionals know, it’s that no system – no matter how many tools and staff are dedicated to it – is fully secure. Agencies have spent the last two decades working hard to keep up with the changing nature and breadth of cyber-threats, but most acknowledge that it’s time for a new approach.
