Today’s threat landscape is complicated. These complications are reflected in the tightened security budgets, adoption of mobility, the rise of advanced persistent threat (APT), increase of malware and phishing and an overall lack of investment in security best practices. A recent survey of 750 security decision makers and practitioners found that more than 60 percent had been breached in 2013 with a quarter of all participants citing a lack of employer investment in adequate defenses.
The report on the survey, sponsored by Palo Alto Networks and several other Iron Bow partners, was provided by CyberEdge Group. The infographic below summarizes the key findings and identifies the challenges faced by IT security professionals today. It sets the stage for the importance of addressing cyber security in a cyclical fashion, which is why Iron Bow has developed a cyber security lifecycle approach to helping customers stay resilient in the face of threats.
