Trust in an organization's ability to stop a cyberattack was analyzed in a recent report by Kroll. The report findings reveal that 37% of senior security decision-makers “completely” trust that their organization is protected and can successfully defend against all cyberattacks, despite organizations experiencing an average of five major security incidents in the last year.
The correlation between the number of security tools and the number of security incidents suggests that trusting security tools alone is misguided, and security teams may not fully understand the threats they face. Further, despite the number of security tools deployed, 24% have a managed detection and response (MDR) or managed security service provider (MSSP) solution.
