A new report shows there is a strong consensus among security professionals and experts that \u201cperimeter defense is no longer a sufficient information security strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents said their cybersecurity needs had changed in the past 12 months and 69% said they expected them to change again in the next year. As a result, 27% of respondents said they formally reassessed their cybersecurity needs quarterly, and a further 31% did so annually.<\/p>\n
The report, released by Ari Kaplan Advisors, found that information security officers and data custodians would need to share responsibility for \u201cknowing where different pieces of sensitive information were kept and ensuring that they were stored securely.\u201d This required partnering with \u201ceDiscovery, in-house counsel, records management, and information governance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Such collaboration was a daily event for 23% of survey participants, and at least monthly for 54%.<\/p>\n
The increasing use of mobile and personal devices to access corporate systems have \u201cexpanded the perimeter beyond what any corporate can control, introducing threats that you cannot fully monitor,\u201d one respondent explained. But while 96% of respondents said their companies allowed remote access to systems, only 69% had formal \u201cbring your own device\u201d policies; the remainder allowing such activity to go unmanaged.<\/p>\n
Respondents also reported needing to balance these new security challenges with business needs to \u201cenhance productivity, promote workplace flexibility, and improve the customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis report confirms and clarifies what we\u2019ve been hearing in the marketplace, that information security is undergoing a profound change and entering a new phase,\u201d said Dr. Jim Kent, Nuix\u2019s Global Head of Investigations and Cybersecurity. \u201cWe\u2019ll be very interested to see how this transformation works its way through the business community as we repeat this benchmarking survey next year and into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
