IT and security leaders must address, on average, one cyberattack per week according to a new study released by Rubrik Zero Labs, titled The State of Data Security.
Rubrik, a Zero Trust data security company, gathered insights from more than 1,600 security and IT leaders including CISOs, CIOs, VPs and directors across 10 countries. The findings exposed rising security risks for organizations, resulting in widespread damage to organizations and their IT and security teams.
Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs, said: “It’s clear from this research that cyberattacks continue to produce large impacts against global organizations and the effects are compounding. In addition to this rise in frequency and impacts of cyberevents, the individuals on the front lines are taking a psychological hit on their well-being.
“Trust is down and anxiety is up. Without a proactive and reliable approach to defend against modern cyberthreats and strengthen confidence in an organization’s ability to resolve these cyber-events, these impacts – both human and organizational – will continue to worsen and feed each other. The good news is we’re also seeing pragmatic, proven strategies in this same space paying off and we can build off these approaches.”
