Cyber-risk management is critical for any modern business operation or initiative, with adherence to security standards and best practices, continuous risk assessments and vulnerability scanning, and better understanding of asset state driving practices maturity. But addressing cyber-risk is becoming more complex with expanding attack surfaces, evolving cybersecurity threats, novel forms of data breaches, new attack vectors, and previously unknown vulnerabilities.
Further, organizations are increasingly managing workloads in cloud environments for the benefits of scale and productivity in addition to on-premises data centers. So, today’s modern ecosystems consist of hybrid or multi-cloud environments, ephemeral assets, expanding attack surfaces, external SaaS and third-party connections, and dynamic cloud-native applications. These infrastructure complexities present new challenges for asset visibility, understanding attack surfaces, securing business-critical assets, and managing their associated risk.
To gain further insights into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 375 IT and cybersecurity professionals in North America (US and Canada) involved with cybersecurity risk management technology and processes at their organization.
