GLOBAL SECURITY RESEARCH REPORT
Cybersecurity at the Crossroads
The cybersecurity landscape is at a critical juncture, with organizations facing an average of 40 cyber incidents annually while also contending with increasingly sophisticated attacks, longer recovery times, and constrained budgets.
Based on a comprehensive survey of 1,800 IT professionals across multiple industries and regions, our latest Global Security Research Report: Cybersecurity at the Crossroads, examines these challenges in depth, offering valuable input to shape your cybersecurity approach for 2025 and beyond.
Key findings:
- Companies report an average recovery time of 7.34 months from security incidents, 25% longer than expected.
- 87% of businesses plan to increase investment in cybersecurity in the next year. Despite the additional spending, 50% feel that an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape has still left them unprepared to deal with future attacks.
- Top factors present in security incidents in 2024 include external attackers (38%), software bugs (33%), and unsatisfactory UX (27%).

“Cybersecurity spending is under the microscope as businesses continue to feel unprepared dealing with an evolving threat landscape. We are seeing a shift towards a shared responsibility for security across organisations, with increased focus on embedding security measures throughout all projects. Companies that bake in security and establish strong partnerships with security organisations early in a product development process are in a better position to deal with emerging threats and recover more quickly from further - unfortunately inevitable - global IT outages."
