The rise of cyber-attacks has become a board-level concern. No organization is immune. More than half (54%) of the enterprises surveyed in a recent study by The Futurum Group, completed in partnership with NetApp reported having experienced an attack in the last 12-18 months. What is perhaps even more concerning is that cyber-attacks are only becoming more impactful, as malicious actors use tools such as AI to increase their efficacy. In this research report, Cloud, Complexity, AI: The Triple Threat Demanding New Cyber Resilience Strategies , Futurum delves into pain points, technical approaches, and priorities when it comes to cyber-resiliency. To do so, we surveyed more than 1,300 cybersecurity decision makers. Respondents held C-Level, VP and Director-level titles within IT and Security across a variety of industries, globally. We also conducted 15 one-on-one interviews for additional color into evolving challenges and priorities. Some key takeaways from Cloud, Complexity, AI: The Triple Threat Demanding New Cyber Resilience Strategies include: The Evolving Threat Landscape: Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, driven by AI and targeting complex IT environments. Organizations face significant challenges in protecting their data and ensuring business continuity. The Importance of Data Classification and Protection: Effectively classifying and protecting critical data is essential for mitigating risks and enabling rapid recovery from cyberattacks. AI-powered solutions can help automate these processes and improve detection capabilities. Simplifying the Security Stack: The proliferation of security tools can lead to complexity and inefficiency. Consolidating functionalities and adopting a more integrated approach can streamline security operations and enhance overall cyber resilience.
