The study found that 66% of IT and security professionals surveyed said their firms were unprepared to recover from a cyber attack, and 75% lacked a formal incident response plan. A key example of this unpreparedness is that fact that many of the companies impacted by the WannaCry ransomware attack had not installed patches in their Windows infrastructure that were released by Microsoft months before. Vulnerabilities in commercial software are common; the only solution is to stay abreast of manufacturer's releases.
New
York City, NY, USA -- Despite the ongoing cyber threat that is
witnessed through news reports almost on a daily basis, firms are
still neglecting proper cybersecurity planning. As information
technology becomes ever more complex and Internet of Things
applications progressively widespread, cybersecurity is becoming an
increasingly important and business-critical field. Unfortunately, a
recent study from security solutions provider Resilient Systems and
market research firm Ponemon broke down key areas of continued
failure for organizations.

In
order to help businesses in their cybersecurity planning, the
Cybersecurity Framework released in February 2014 following a
collaborative process involving industry, academia and government has
been widely adopted by many types of organizations around the world,
quickly becoming the de facto standard by which cyber security is
going to be measured.
