Gigamon 2024 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey Reveals Global Security Leaders are Losing Ground in the Race Against Cybercrime as Undetected Breaches Rise by 20 Percent New research shows 1 in 3 organizations were unable to detect a breach in the last 12 months, with just 25 percent able to respond in real time, revealing a cybersecurity preparedness gap
Security and IT leaders are at a crucial juncture. The specter of AI-powered cyber attacks looms globally, with 82 percent of respondents predicting that AI will increase the global ransomware threat. And yet,despite global information security spending projected to reach
CISOs Turn to Boards, Prioritize Encrypted Visibility to Help Address Today's Threats
The research also delves into the insights of 234 CISOs globally. The results highlight that CISOs continue to bear the burden of regulatory and technological pressures, with 69 percent of CISOs reporting they struggle to detect encrypted threats, compared to 59 percent of the total respondents. An alarming 70 percent of CISOs believe their tools aren't as effective as they could be in detecting breaches, and as a result 59 percent say they would be most empowered by cyber risk becoming a boardroom priority.
Key Findings Highlight Cybersecurity Preparedness Gap
*Most organizations report critical visibility gaps. The complexity of modern hybrid cloud infrastructure contributes to organizations' lack of control. Three-quarters of respondents agree that
*Organizations are unprepared for today's sophisticated attacks. Survey respondents generally acknowledge weaknesses in their tool stack for threat detection. Just 25 percent were able to remediate a live threat in a recent breach. When tooling fails, organizations suffer more serious consequences, with 31 percent of organizations only detecting a recent breach once they received an extortion threat from the adversary; 31 percent became aware of the breach when proprietary information leaked onto the dark web. Of greater concern is that 25 percent of respondents ultimately failed to determine the root cause of the breach.
*Deep observability is viewed as central to modern IT success. When breaches are missed, tool strategies are firmly in the spotlight. Eight in 10 agree that achieving unified visibility into hybrid cloud infrastructure is key to preventing attacks. Six in 10 believe that greater visibility into all data in motion will empower them to securely deploy AI technology. As a result, 80 percent agree that deep observability-delivering network-derived intelligence to log-based security tooling-is now a board-level priority.
*Regulation, boardroom pressure is elevating
"It is clear that organizations' tool stacks are falling short, enabling threat actors to exploit blind spots to breach and extort their victims without fear of detection," said
