트렌드 마이크로의 연구에 따르면 전 세계 조직의 사이버 보안에 중대한 격차가 있음을 나타냅니다. 오직 36%의 기업만이 24시간, 주 7일 사이버 보안 지원을 위한 충분한 인력을 보유하고 있습니다, 반면 겨우 35%만이 위험을 측정하기 위해 공격 표면 관리 기술을 사용하고 있습니다. 2,600명의 IT 리더를 대상으로 진행된 이번 연구는 사이버 보안 노력이 리더십과 책임 부족을 드러내고 있습니다. 응답자의 48%는 그들의 리더십이 사이버 보안을 자신의 책임으로 여기지 않는다고 주장했습니다, 54%는 조직 내에서 사이버 위험에 대한 불일치한 태도를 보고했습니다.
연구 결과는 또한 조사된 기업의 96%가 공격 표면에 대해 우려하고 있다고 밝혔으며, 36%는 고위험 지역을 평가하고 완화하는 것을 걱정하고 있습니다. 트렌드의 기술 이사인 Bharat Mistry는 사이버 회복력을 향상시키기 위해 비즈니스 위험 측면에서 명확한 리더십과 소통의 필요성을 강조합니다.
La recherche de Trend Micro révèle d'importantes lacunes en matière de cybersécurité dans les organisations mondiales. Seulement 36 % des entreprises disposent de personnel suffisant pour une couverture de cybersécurité 24 heures sur 24, 7 jours sur 7, tandis que seulement 35 % utilisent des techniques de gestion de la surface d'attaque pour mesurer le risque. L'étude, qui a interrogé 2 600 responsables informatiques, met en évidence un manque de leadership et de responsabilité dans les efforts de cybersécurité. 48 % des répondants ont déclaré que leur direction ne considérait pas la cybersécurité comme une responsabilité, et 54 % ont signalé des attitudes incohérentes envers le risque cybernétique au sein de leurs organisations.
La recherche a également révélé que 96 % des entreprises interrogées ont des inquiétudes concernant leur surface d'attaque, 36 % s'inquiétant d'évaluer et d'atténuer les zones à haut risque.

Bharat Mistry, Technical Director at Trend: "A lack of clear leadership on cybersecurity can have a paralyzing effect on an organization—leading to reactive, piecemeal and erratic decision making. Companies need CISOs to clearly communicate in terms of business risk to engage their boards. Ideally, they should have a single source of truth across the attack surface from which to share updates with the board, continually monitor risk, and automatically remediate issues for enhanced cyber-resilience."
Trend polled 2,600 global IT leaders responsible for cybersecurity in small, medium and large organizations to better understand their attitudes toward attack surface risk management (ASRM).
The top three gaps in cyber-resilience revealed by respondents were:
- Sufficient staffing for 24x7x365 cybersecurity coverage – which just
36% have - Attack surface management techniques to measure the risk of the attack surface (used by
35% ) - Using proven regulatory and other frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (only
34% )
The failure of a majority of global companies to achieve these cybersecurity basics could be traced back to a lack of leadership and accountability at the top of the organization. Half (
When asked who does or should hold responsibility for mitigating business risk, respondents returned a variety of answers, indicating a lack of clarity on reporting lines. Nearly a third (
This lack of clear direction on cybersecurity strategy may be why over half (
The leadership required to remediate these issues is not present in many organizations. Nearly all (
