New study shows CISOs most likely to outsource security program improvements and 24/7 protection
“The shift to remote working, a significant increase in threat volumes, and the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage are some of the biggest challenges CISOs are facing today—challenges they are tackling with limited resources,” said Michelle Bank, Chief Product and Marketing by Nuspire Officer. “CISOs are prioritizing their spend based on where they’ll get the most value, and our latest research shows that CISOs are spending their limited budget to stay current and optimize existing technologies.”
Key findings from the study include:
· CISOs and IT security decision makers are most concerned about overall security program improvements; 24/7 threat monitoring, detection and response; and vulnerability/posture assessments.
· The top three outsourced services include general security program improvements; 24/7 threat monitoring, detection and response; and technology optimization and integrations to ensure the best use of existing technology.
· Nearly a quarter of CISOs say they spend most of their time on business, IT, and security program strategies.
· Two-thirds believe their organization is vulnerable to attacks, particularly when it comes to cloud applications, end users and cloud infrastructure.
· CISOs are very concerned about end-users and see the need for more education to prevent ransomware and phishing attacks – especially in times of remote work; However, your likelihood of outsourcing a solution is slim.
Nuspire’s research methodology involved anonymously surveying over 200 US-based CISO and IT decision makers from large to midsize companies across a variety of industries including retail, manufacturing, information technology and more.
