Overconfident and Underprepared: Why Cyber Teams Are Failing Despite Increased Spending
Cyber readiness is hitting a speed bump as over-confident teams overlook sluggish incident response times, despite increased spending. Immersive’s report reveals that while 91% of leaders claim they can handle major incidents, response times remain stuck in the slow lane. Apparently, confidence is high, but so are the delays.
Hot Take:
Looks like cyber teams are too busy flexing their muscles and forgetting to actually lift weights. Despite shelling out big bucks on cyber defenses, their incident response times are as sluggish as a sloth on a lazy Sunday. Maybe it’s time to swap that false sense of security for a dose of reality and a side of better training!
Key Points:
- Over 91% of leaders trust their teams, but resilience scores stay flat since 2023.
- Participants took 29 hours to contain incidents, with only 22% decision accuracy.
- 41% of simulations lack involvement from non-technical roles, leaving decision-making untested.
- 60% of training focuses on outdated vulnerabilities.
- Immersive suggests comprehensive readiness training across all organizational levels.
