A new survey from a Bloomfield information security provider says more than 77 percent of organizations are not prepared for a cyber attack, and many lack a formal response plan.
According to the annual Global Threat Intelligence Report (GTIR) prepared by NTT Com Security, there has been little improvement in preparedness since last year. The latest figures indicate a slight increase in organizations that are not properly prepared, despite the rise in security attacks and data breaches.
The GTIR shows that over the last three years, on average 77 percent of organizations fall into the unprepared category, leaving just 23 percent with the capability to respond effectively to critical security incidents. NTT said prevention and planning for cyber attacks appears to be stagnating.
Garry Sidaway, vice president of security strategy and alliances at NTT Com said that could be the result of “security fatigue,” a large number of high-profile breaches, fast-paced technology changes and other factors.
While the financial services sector was forced to manage the greatest number of breach incidents a year ago, this year’s survey found that retail has taken the lead.
The survey pulled information from 24 security operations centers, seven R&D centers, 3.5 trillion logs and 6.2 billion attacks recorded in 2015.
