The RSA Conference ends today, and it proved an exciting time even observed from afar. Product releases<\/a>, powerful keynotes, and plenty of self-reflection in an industry that requires it perhaps more than any other abounded. With so much data on cybersecurity trends coming out of San Francisco, it was easy to miss both some of the quieter discoveries from the speakers and researchers outside the conference.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, we\u2019ve compiled some statistics highlighting the latest cybersecurity trends<\/a> so you can get a sense of the situation on the digital ground. Here\u2019s what we found: <\/span><\/p>\n One of the more unsurprising but distressing cybersecurity trends was how many enterprise attacks could have been avoided. According to the NSA, <\/span>93%<\/b> of all the security incidents they encountered last year were found to be completely preventable using well-known cybersecurity best practices. <\/span><\/p>\n Yet efforts to impart best practices to employees\u2014the largest and most common attack surface in almost any enterprise\u2014appear to be taking a back seat in too many businesses. According to the National Association of State Chief Information Officers, only <\/span>57%<\/b> of CIOs measure the effectiveness of their cybersecurity programs. Only <\/span>12%<\/b> said their cybersecurity metrics program is operational. <\/span><\/p>\n One of the most worrying and persistent cybersecurity trends is employment. According to a 2016 <\/span>Forbes<\/span><\/a> article \u201cevery year in the U.S., <\/span>40,000<\/b> jobs for information security analysts go unfilled, and employers are struggling to fill <\/span>200,000<\/b> other cybersecurity-related roles.\u201d A more recent article found that the U.S. ration of existing cybersecurity professionals to open relevant jobs in their field is <\/span>2.6.<\/b> The national average for all jobs is <\/span>5.6.<\/b> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Yet despite the gap in cybersecurity skills, enterprises aren\u2019t giving their experts due compensation: 88% of InfoSec professionals exiting their current positions ranked pay as their biggest motivator for departing. <\/span><\/p>\n The RSA Conference ends today, and it proved an exciting time even observed from afar.
