Cyber resilience gap: High confidence, but reality lags behind

"Disruptions today extend far beyond the walls of one's own organization. True resilience must extend to all layers of the ecosystem, including partners, platforms, and supply chains. A resilient by design approach can help organizations withstand breaches or inevitable failure."

"Sixty percent of companies have already experienced a major disruption within their organization in the past year. Despite these figures, less than half have taken steps to update their resilience strategies. Only 34 percent consider their current measures highly effective against supply chain volatility."

"Zero Trust allows all connections to be secured, including external ones. By applying least privilege access rights, a company can make significant progress by minimizing permissions for users and accounts, preventing malicious actors from spreading further into the network."

Despite nine out of ten organizations increasing cyber resilience investments, 61 percent maintain perimeter-focused strategies that leave them vulnerable to external disruptions. Over half expect major disruptions from external parties within twelve months, including cyber incidents, supply chain attacks, and geopolitical threats. Sixty percent have already experienced major disruptions, yet fewer than half updated their resilience strategies accordingly. Only 34 percent consider current measures effective against supply chain volatility. Outdated infrastructure and emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing compound uncertainty. Zero Trust architecture offers solutions by securing all connections, including external ones, and implementing least privilege access to minimize malicious actor spread.
