DEFCON 1: Indian organisations unable to prevent half of serious cyberattacks, need more resources

Firstpost  

Indian businesses and other organisations are woefully ill-equipped to prevent serious cyberattacks, a new survey by tenable has found. Most IT and cybersecurity teams are occupied with solving critical incidents, instead of proactively setting up defense systems A recent report has raised concerns about the ability of Indian organisations to fend off cyberattacks, with nearly half of such incidents going unprevented due to a lack of proactive measures. It revealed that a significant 78 per cent of Indian respondents believed their organisations could improve their defences against cyberattacks if more resources were dedicated to preventive cybersecurity efforts. Tenable India Country Manager, Kartik Shahani, emphasised the urgency of the situation, stating, “In today’s threat landscape, by the time organisations react to cyberattacks, the battle is half lost.” The report shed light on the structural and operational challenges within Indian organisations, highlighting a misalignment of goals between IT and security teams. And it requires a way for security professionals to analyse the data coming from disparate tools to empower them to draw meaningful insights they can apply to their risk reduction goals.” The report’s data was drawn from a study titled “Old Habits Die Hard: How People, Process and Technology Challenges Are Hurting Cybersecurity Teams in India,” underlining the need for improved cybersecurity practices in Indian organisations.
