Only 25% of organizations are prepared to manage a DDoS attack

OPSWAT and Dark Survey collaborated on a survey revealing IT and corporate leadership concerns about organizational preparedness. Survey responses indicate a lack of preparedness for evolving cybersecurity threats, as only 25% of respondents feel their organization is fully equipped to manage DDoS attacks. For threats such as botnets, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), API security issues and zero-day malware, the expressed preparedness level is even lower.
Many respondents report experiencing attacks as well. These include:
- 24% experienced a compromised contractor, vendor or other third party.
- 28% experienced unauthorized account access or credential theft.
- 35% experienced a malware breach.
Furthermore, IT leaders report feelings of inadequate support from organizations. These feelings often stem from budget shortages, poor staff training, inadequate technical partnerships, contrasting security ecosystems and vendors, and lacking attention from management.
