- Isaca figures show that cyber attacks occur more frequently
- Lack of staff and limited budgets are to be blamed
- Used correctly, AI can connect the space
The new ISACA data has claimed two in five European professionals (39%) report more cyber attacks than last year, the attacks increasing both on a scale and to complexity.
Even if the increase in the frequency and severity of the attacks is not a surprise (countless other reports are correlated with it), only about a third (38%) have confidence in their organization to be able to respond effectively, suggesting poor preparation and a response to trends.
Poor preparation is influenced by the lack of staff (58%) and mediocre budgets (54%), but the two factors were cited less than last year, which suggests that regular progress is made.
Many organizations are not ready to respond to cyber attacks
“During the last year, the public has seen in the first hand, how much the cyber attacks can have an impact, with high -level violations of devastating companies and dominant titles,” said the world director of ISACA strategy, Chris Dimitriadis.
Isaca says that there are many more games within organizations than simple response and preparation – other difficulties distribute resources more finely in general. Two -thirds (68%) of workers claim that their job is more stressful than five years ago, with more than half (54%) concerned with unrealistic expectations or excessive workloads.
A fifth (22%) of organizations have taken no action on professional exhaustion, and approximately one in three workers (36%) also notes a need for skills and training.
“While organizations are starting to recognize the problem and take measures to solve the long -standing problems of budgets and staff allocation, the pace of change is still far too slow,” noted Dimitriadis.
For the future, all of these factors have an impact on the acquisition and retention of talents for half (52%) of companies, the entry -level roles taking three to six months to complete almost one in two business.
Although artificial intelligence has proven to be beneficial throughout threat detection (29%), safety of final points (28%) and general task automation (27%) among cybersecurity professionals, additional IA security legislation and an increase are necessary to equal the increase in attacks.
“By valuing practical training, professional references and transferable skills, organizations can strengthen their teams and relieve pressure on overloaded professionals,” concluded Dimitriadis.
