Dangerous gaps: Study on ICS and OT cybersecurity - Image by GrumpyBeere on Pixabay

The SANS Institute has released the results of its 2024 State of ICS/OT Cybersecurity study. It shows significant progress in securing industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technologies (OT). However, the report also warns that many companies are still leaving critical systems unprotected. Companies that use both ICS/OT cybersecurity standards and threat intelligence to guide their program are ahead of their competitors in terms of maturity and capabilities. Such companies detect cyber events faster, are more likely to have mapped out all external connections to the industrial environment, and typically have ICS/OT-specific…

Nine out of ten managers are convinced that their company will benefit if they prioritize digital employee experience, according to the results of a survey. There are still significant deficits in implementation: employees are skeptical about the principle and technical hurdles lead to frustration. 93% of security professionals say that prioritizing digital employee experience (DEX) has a positive impact on a company's cybersecurity strategies. This assessment has a very valid background, because 6 out of 10 employees bypass their company's security regulations if they are perceived as a "hurdle" in their daily work....

Identity security: Many companies are still at the beginning

A provider of identity security for companies has presented its latest study "Horizons of Identity Security". Companies with advanced identity security are more open to AI-based solutions, have a lower cyber risk and pay lower cyber insurance premiums. The current 2024-2025 report from SailPoint Technologies shows that most companies are still at the beginning of their identity security journey, while those that have already reached a certain level of maturity achieve an above-average return on investment. Currently, the added value that identity security offers remains largely unused. Of the companies surveyed, around 41 percent are at the beginning of identity development, only...

Study: SOC teams have little confidence in their security tools

A leading provider of AI-powered advanced detection and response (XDR) has presented the results of its new research report "2024 State of Threat Detection: The Defender's Dilemma": Almost half of the SOC professionals surveyed distrust their tools. As the report shows, security operations center (SOC) employees fear that they are falling behind in the battle to detect and prioritize real threats - due to too many siloed tools and a lack of precise attack signals. Respondents speak of growing distrust of the vendors and believe that their tools are more likely to be used to detect real attacks.
