Securis’ Post

The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2024, produced in collaboration with Accenture was just released. Thanks to all who helped! Some highlights: - "A stark divide between cyber-resilient organizations and those that are struggling has emerged." - "90% of cyber leaders who attended the Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity believe that inequity within the cybersecurity ecosystem requires urgent action." - "Approximately half of executives say that advances in adversarial capabilities (phishing, malware, deepfakes) present the most concerning impact of generative AI on cyber." - "Only 15% of all organizations are optimistic that cyber skills and education will significantly improve in the next two years." - "52% of public organizations state that a lack of resources and skills is their biggest challenge when designing for cyber resilience." - "41% of the organizations that suffered a material incident in the past 12 months say it was caused by a third party." - "60% of executives agree that cyber and privacy regulations effectively reduce risk in their organization’s ecosystem – up 21% since 2022." https://lnkd.in/gBE3e3aX James Nunn-Price Daisuke Fujii Aiko Kitagawa Noriko Rzonca (ルゾンカ) Robert Veres Scott Wilkie Mark du Plessis #WEF #davos #Accenture #cybersecurity #cyberinequity #cyberregulation #SCRM #generativeAI #trustworthyAI #cyberresilience #cybersecurityawareness

A few (healthcare-related & overall) insights from the WEF Global Cyber Security Outlook 2024 report: “48% of healthcare and life science business leaders thought generative Ai will most significantly affect cybersecurity in the next two years” while “62% think their organizations are at least minimally cyber resilient”. This buoyant cyber resilience outlook in the healthcare space should be tempered by the fact that overall, "64% of executives who believe that their organization’s cyber resilience meets its minimum requirements to operate say they still have an inadequate understanding of their supply-chain cyber vulnerabilities.” On the other hand, “98% of organizations have a relationship with at least one third party that has experienced a breach in the last two years”. This third-party risk will cause especially larger organizations to pay much closer attention to the cyber security profile of providers in their supply chain. It is also an opportunity for proactive leaders who are improving their organization’s cyber resilience to differentiate themselves from the competition.

Gartner Predicts 15% Growth in the Cybersecurity Market Global spending on cybersecurity is expected to grow by 15.1% in 2025, reaching $225 billion, according to Gartner. The main market segments show comparable growth, but investment in network security has accelerated compared to last year, with security applications continuing to lead expenditures. Significant growth is forecasted for the CASB and CWPP segments, increasing from the current $6.7 billion to $8.7 billion. Analysts also note that "organizations are currently assessing their EPP and EDR needs and making adjustments to boost their operational resilience and incident response following the CrowdStrike outage." However, the primary factors driving the increase in cybersecurity budgets remain the growing complexity of cyber threats, the shift to cloud environments, and the talent shortage. To avoid sounding like a broken record, analysts added that the widespread adoption of AI will lead to increased spending on application security, infrastructure protection, and privacy control tools. On the threat front, it is expected that by 2027, generative AI will be somehow involved in 17% of cyberattacks. #statistics #cybersecurity #EDR #budgets

🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨 I’m honored to be representing Cyber İN and Kapital Bank as a speaker at the International Cyber Security Days (ICSD) 2024, organized by PROSOL Company. I’ll be joining Panel 7 to discuss the critical topic: "Daily Challenges of Information Security Administrators: A Centralized View of Decentralized Cyber Operations." With the growing complexity of distributed architectures, balancing a centralized oversight of decentralized systems has become a significant challenge for security operations. I'll dive into strategies for: 🔸 Automating incident detection and response through advanced playbooks 🔸 Streamlining workflows to reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and respond (MTTR) 🔸 Leveraging SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) tools to orchestrate responses across distributed environments 🔸 Developing adaptable playbooks for handling complex, multi-vector cyber threats I’d like to extend my gratitude to PROSOL and Babek H. AGHAYEV for organizing this valuable event. It’s a great opportunity to collaborate with leading cybersecurity professionals and tackle the challenges that lie ahead. Looking forward to sharing insights and learning from the best in the industry at ICSD 2024! Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of cybersecurity together. 🔐🌐

This year’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook published by World Economic Forum in collaboration with Accenture provides crucial insights into the multifaceted challenges facing leaders across the globe. Geopolitical instability, rapidly advancing technologies and an increasing gap in organizational cyber capabilities reinforce the need to build resilience and enable systemic global collaboration. Some of the report's main findings: 📌 The number of organizations that maintain minimum viable cyber resilience is down 30%. While large organizations demonstrated remarkable gains in cyber resilience, SMEs showed a significant decline. 📌 Approximately half of executives say that advances in adversarial capabilities (phishing, malware, deepfakes) present the most concerning impact of generative AI on cyber. 📌 Half of the smallest organizations by revenue say they either do not have or are unsure as to whether they have the skills they need to meet their cyber objectives. 📌 29% of organizations reported that they had been materially affected by a cyber incident in the past 12 months. 📌 41% of the organizations that suffered a material incident in the past 12 months say it was caused by a third party. "Looking ahead to the challenges of 2024, the report illuminates major findings and puts a spotlight on the widening cyber inequity and the profound impact of emerging technologies. The path forward demands strategic thinking, concerted action and a steadfast commitment to cyber resilience. This report invites leaders not only to recognize the hurdles but also to actively embrace the opportunities for positive change. It is a call for collective effort and innovation, urging leaders to work collaboratively towards a more secure, resilient and trustworthy digital future." #cybersecurity #cyberresilience #WEF24 #accenturesecurity
