• 41 % of CIOs don’ t believe their current security investments fully meet their organisation’ s needs
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, emerging technologies are creating new vulnerabilities. AI-driven attacks now occur as frequently as phishing, placing AI firmly among the top three cybersecurity threats. Additionally, one in four CIOs are concerned about the rise of deepfakes over the next year.
Almost all( 96 %) say at least some improvements are needed in their organisation’ s security coverage, 45 % require significant improvements. p
On this year’ s report, Bob Bailkoski, Global CEO of Logicalis Group said:“ Tech leaders are operating in an environment where cybersecurity threats are steadily intensifying. After more than a decade of security spending on point solutions, the research findings show this patch approach isn’ t delivering value for money and is actually the source of more problems. While it’ s essential that security remains a budget priority, security needs to be a strategic investment, not a knee-jerk purchase. CIOs will be wise to evaluate and untangle their security ecosystem and consider moving to a unified solution that offers broader and deeper threat protection.”
