Hikvision Covers SecurityInfoWatch.com Article on Addressing Cyber Threats, Security Breach
IBM’s 2019 Cyber Resilient Organization study found the majority of organizations are unprepared to respond to a cybersecurity incident such as security breach, “with 77 percent of survey respondents indicating they do not have a cybersecurity incident response plan applied consistently across the enterprise,” according to an article in Security magazine.
“Failing to plan is a plan to fail when it comes to responding to a cybersecurity incident. These plans need to be stress tested regularly and need full support from the board to invest in the necessary people, processes and technologies to sustain such a program. When proper planning is paired with investments in automation, we see companies able to save millions of dollars during a [security] breach,” said Ted Julian, VP of product management and co-founder of IBM Resilient, in the article.
The study also found that:
- Aligning privacy and cybersecurity is important to achieve organizational cyber resilience, according to 62 percent of those surveyed.
- 46 percent of organizations still have not yet fully complied with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- 75 percent of respondents found “hiring and retaining skilled cybersecurity personnel as moderately high to high.”
