This isn’t news, but it’s happening.
On a daily basis, we work with IT decision-makers, CISOs, and C-level executives across Europe – and beyond – and the vast majority say the same thing: our cyber solutions are not fit for purpose.
A
We wanted to know more and gain an even deeper understanding of the state of cyber security for mid-market companies. So, who better to ask than the best in the business?
B
In 2024, we commissioned Forrester Consulting – who have been putting customers at the center of everything they do for more than 40 years – to reach out to people managing cyber security in a mid-market organization – people just like you – to find out how we reset cyber security.
Whilst organizations have established tools, processes and controls to identify, monitor and mitigate vulnerabilities and risks across their digital assets, they acknowledge the scope and complexity of the attack surface are growing at a rate which is difficult to keep up with.
The result?
This research confirmed what we already believed: the Cyber Security playbook is broken.
