The current information security landscape is rapidly evolving.

It’s not just the amount of attacks that grew; 64% of organizations also saw an increase in the severity of the attacks. Roughly 53% of responding organizations experienced a data breach involving more than 1,000 records within the last two years.

More and more enterprises are shifting away from a purely defensive security posture. Instead, companies are embracing a holistic approach to creating a security-conscious culture. They are cultivating a cyber resilience mindset with the ability to prevent, detect, contain and recover from threats against data, applications and IT infrastructure.


Organizations designated as “high performers” in cyber resilience outperformed others in all areas of IT security in the 2020 Cyber Resilient Organization Report.The gap between high performers and the others was largest when it came to detecting and containing attacks. 


Building cyber resilience isn’t simple or easy. But, it clearly can be worthwhile if you start with the right framework and approach best suited for your company.
