Vulcan Cyber announced the latest results of its ongoing research into cyber risk remediation initiatives and risk impact on business operations. In a survey of enterprise IT security executives, 76% of respondents indicated that a security vulnerability had impacted their business in the last year. These findings underscore the pervasive impact security vulnerabilities continue to have on business, as well as the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches to vulnerability management.
Conducted by Pulse, the latest Vulcan Cyber vulnerability remediation survey examines the effectiveness of risk and vulnerability management programs in enterprises today and their impact on cyber hygiene. According to the results, a majority of respondents, 52%, report their organization places only a moderate level of importance on risk-based vulnerability management, compared to 33% who consider risk-based vulnerability management very important.
