Nearly 80 Percent of German Organizations Aren’t Prepared for a Cyber Security Incident
The latest research on Cyber Resilience from the Ponemon Institute shows that 79 percent of security executives reported that they aren’t prepared for a cybersecurity incident. And only 21 percent have the technology in place to respond to a cyberattack. This new independent study, The Cyber Resilient Organisation in Germany: Learning to Thrive against Threats, from privacy and information security research firm Ponemon Institute, benchmarks German organizations’ resilience to cyber threats.
Surprisingly, the German study also revealed that 54 percent rated their cyber resilience as high, suggesting a gap between perceived resilience and reality. This is the third report in a series of cyber resilient studies, with founding sponsor, Resilient Systems. The first study was published in the US last year and the second study was released earlier this week in the UK. Similar to the UK findings, insufficient planning and preparedness and organizational factors are identified as major barriers to achieving cyber resilience.
