Insufficient collaboration within the company increases cyber risk
Poor internal communication, unclear responsibilities and a heterogeneous tool landscape make cyber risk management in companies more difficult. The requirements for an effective risk management of the external attack surface, which a company offers via IT assets accessible from the Internet, and the real situation in companies diverge widely. This is the conclusion of a thought leadership report prepared by the analyst firm Forrester and commissioned by CyCognito, market leader for External Attack Surface Risk Management (EASM). A total of 304 security and IT decision-makers in the USA, Germany, France, Great Britain and Canada, who are also responsible for risk assessment within the company, were surveyed.
