Security leaders say their organizations are failing to manage cyber risk. The 2022 Security Priorities Study, released by Foundry (formerly IDG Communications), explores how.
The Information Security Maturity Report 2022 from ClubCISO powered by Telstra Purple identified how organizational cybersecurity has shifted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the COVID-19 pandemic began around the world in early 2020, budgets decreased as businesses shuttered their doors. According to Global Guardian Co-Founder and CEO Dale Buckner, security budgets have the potential to double or triple in 2022.
The university will increase its annual security budget by at least $2 million per year for the next decade. The budget increase was announced after an uptick in gun violence in Columbus, Ohio.
As economic uncertainty continues alongside the ongoing pandemic, IT and Security budgets are likely to see modest - if any – growth this year. Therefore, it will fall to CIOs to focus on maximizing existing investments, getting back to the basics, and doing more with the same (or less).
There are some core principles I believe are important to keep top of mind when it comes to minimizing risk and maximizing budgets.
Enterprises are grappling with increased complexity as cloud adoption increases, the perimeter expands, and digital transformation projects take hold. The accelerated shift to remote working has only added to the complexity. As more businesses leverage hybrid IT environments in their digital transformation journey, many confront challenges managing identities and access across multiple applications, clouds, networks and servers.
Convincing C-suite executives to approve budgets for security system upgrades may be difficult in the best of times. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting financial upheaval it caused may make selling new projects more challenging for security directors. While security may not be a daily topic of discussion among C-suite members, they understand the need to provide and maintain a safe and secure environment for corporate employees and visitors. But they don’t see security in terms of a camera brand or access card technology. They view security in terms of risk management and mitigation strategies. Addressing those concerns in any project plan will increase its chances of it winning approval.
