Organizations are improving their cyber resilience and reducing the rate of successful cyber attacks. While the number of targeted attacks has more than doubled, organizations have reduced the rate of successful attacks from 30% to 13%. Security teams are also detecting a higher percentage of attacks, around 63% on average, and are detecting breaches much faster, from months/years to just days/weeks. Cybersecurity capabilities have improved by 42% overall. However, organizations need to focus not just on external attacks but also internal threats, as internal attacks are among the most frequent and damaging. Maintaining investment in cybersecurity will be important to continue progress on improved security resilience going forward.

CLOSING THE GAP ON CYBER ATTACKS
Despite the rising number of cyber attacks, security teams continue to
identify nearly two-thirds of all breach attempts, 63% on average, and twice
as many of them are now able to detect 76% or more cyber attacks.

New technologies such as artificial intelligence,

Cybersecurity at our organization is completely
embedded into our culture.
As companies adopt new innovative business
models, ecosystems, liquid workforces, etc.,
the risk and security attack surface area
increases exponentially.
It is not possible to appear strong, prepared
and competent, if my organization is the victim
of a major security breach.
Cyberattacks are a bit of a black box; we do not
