51% of IT Leaders Can’t Mitigate a Data Breach

A recent study from Syntax reveals that 51% of IT leaders reported they would be unable to successfully mitigate a data breach or ransomware attack. Overall, the report shows that leaders tend to overinflate their actual innovation capabilities. While many executives ranked themselves on the “leading edge,” also known as the top 5% of businesses when it comes to innovation, their actual capabilities reflect a different picture.

Possibly most troubling, 81% of respondents experienced a cyberattack in the last year. But results show that leaders are underprepared for the new cybersecurity landscape, as 60% of respondents indicated they were “extremely prepared” to handle a phishing attack — yet phishing was the most common type of attack reported. When it comes to securing the hybrid workplace, almost half (43%) of respondents said they are only somewhat confident their company can protect them from cyberattacks.

At UMBRA, we are very aware of data security and intelligence limitations and provide services to overcome the limits.
