The period of the last few months is characterized by economic instability and many markets have been entering stagnation and/or broad contraction. With coronavirus raging in the background, the business world and various industries are experiencing a deep recession, a sharp decline in the volumes of consumption and the economy.

With more than 90% of professionals claiming that the number of attacks is rising, the information and data of organizations is critical and information on information security performance is no less important; this should be taken seriously.

A recent survey conducted by one of the largest associations in the field of information security, among thousands of information security experts from a variety of industries, presents interesting findings on how the organizations are coping.

The professionals were asked about topics such as: trends in the number of cyber-attacks, the types of attackers, and the staffing of positions in the field.

• More than 50% think their organization will experience a cyberattack in the coming year.
• More than 60% claim that there is a lack of reporting of cyber-attacks in general.
• More than 40% claim that although there is legislation on reporting obligation, there is still a lack of reporting of cyber-attacks.
• It was also found that there is a correlation among those who reported a rise in cyber-attacks this year, where 38% of them indicated that staffing an information security position takes six months or more, and 42% indicated they were unable to staff the position at all.

The survey’s results regarding human resources are particularly concerning, with more than 60% of respondents indicated a great shortage in the staffing of information security positions in the organizations.

The survey only highlights the fact that organizations are more exposed than ever and, unless they pay attention to this as quickly as possible, they might be damaged in a way that could lead to ceasing their operation.
