Most Companies Failing to Measure Cybersecurity Effectiveness and Performance
More than half of respondents to a survey scored an “F” or “D” grade when evaluating their efforts to measure their cybersecurity investments and performance against best practices.
The 2017 State of Cybersecurity Metrics Report said that lobal companies and governments spend more than $100 billion a year on cybersecurity defenses, yet a substantial number, 32 percent, of companies are making business decisions and purchasing cyber security technology blindly. Even more disturbing, more than 80 percent of respondents fail to include business users in making cyber security purchase decisions, nor have they established a steering committee to evaluate the business impact and risks associated with cybersecurity investments.
