Cybersecurity Overconfidence: UK Leaders’ Blind Spot in CNI Security?

Bridewell’s survey reveals UK CNI security leaders have an “optimism bias,” with 90% confident in their cyber strategy. Yet, a staggering 95% faced breaches last year. The “optimism bias” is startling since only 22% can respond to ransomware attacks within an hour. Clearly, confidence doesn’t always equate to capability!
