The findings paint a bleak picture. There is little confidence that enterprises are capable of securing customer data or standing up to a digital security threat. 68% of the respondents said their top cybersecurity challenge is a lack of company resources, including a budget. 80.5% said their enterprise has either underfunded their cybersecurity efforts or provided no budget at all. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of the respondents, only 16.6% felt confident in their ability to secure customer data, and only 14.9% felt confident in current cybersecurity technology. According to <\/span>Neil Weitzel<\/span><\/a>, Director of Security Research at Cygilant, \u201cit\u2019s important that businesses understand the cybersecurity challenges they\u2019re facing, and no one knows these challenges better than the cybersecurity professionals on the \u2018front line\u2019 working to prevent breaches and a loss of customer and corporate data on a daily basis.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe results from our new survey haven\u2019t changed dramatically from last year. Companies are still understaffing and underfunding cybersecurity initiatives and aren\u2019t providing the ongoing security awareness training to employees which is required to protect against relentless attacks by adversaries,\u201d he continued. Indeed, nearly a quarter of the respondents rate <\/span>phishing<\/span><\/a> schemes as a major issue but lack a formal training program to help employees spot attacks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps then it is the stagnation and ignorance of cybersecurity within enterprises that is most surprising. Over 50% of the IT professionals surveyed said their business suffered one or more breaches in 2017. Yet according to Neil\u2019s statement \u201cthese new survey results confirm that companies are not taking the steps they should to build defenses around their customer data and continue to be vulnerable to cyber attacks.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
