Current State of application security & corporate compliance

The need for robust cybersecurity measures has been amplified by our increasingly digital economy. Statistics reveal that 81% of data breaches result from lost, stolen, or weak passwords, of which three-quarters are instigated by outsiders. Alarmingly, a quarter of these breaches are carried out from within the organizations showing that cybersecurity threats do not solely exist externally but also pose a significant internal risk that demands attention.

 

Increasing Importance of Cybersecurity

Organizations now readily recognize the relevancy of their cybersecurity posture, with 64% rating it as either important or very important. These businesses understand the integral link between a robust cybersecurity framework and reduced risk of data breaches for all involved - employees, customers, and partners. As many as 65% of the organizations acknowledge this correlation in our intensively digitized business world, where data security is of paramount significance.

 

The Talent Gap

However, a considerable challenge remains - the acute scarcity of security talent in the industry. A staggering 87% of organizations are struggling with a shortage of cybersecurity specialists. As a result, the number of global cybersecurity job vacancies has drastically increased by an impressive 350%, from 1 million in 2013 to an anticipated 3.5 million in 2021. With the increasing proliferation, sophistication, and scale of cybercrimes, this glaring lack of qualified talent creates a significant hurdle for businesses globally.

 

Cost of Cybercrime

From a broader perspective, the extraction of an alarming $6 trillion annually from the global economy due to cybercrime reinforces the severity and urgency of reinforcing cybersecurity measures. It is worrying to find that only a mere 38% of organizations can proactively spot risks before they develop into serious threats.

Cybersecurity as a Business Risk

Cybersecurity, once considered a specialized branch and an IT domain challenge, has escalated to command serious attention at executive levels within organizations. Recent data show that a substantial 88% of board members view cybersecurity as a critical business risk, marking a significant shift from 2016 figures - when only 58% shared the same view. This shift signifies a growing seriousness about cyber threats and their potential to impact businesses at large.

 

Security and Compliance

Importantly, it must be noted that organizations cannot be compliant without establishing thorough security measures. Compliance to industry standards and regulatory requirements, while providing a guide, cannot alone ensure security. It is insufficient to just adhere to compliance checklists. The rising surge in cybersecurity threats calls for more elaborate and dynamic security protocols, which go well beyond basic compliance frameworks.

 

The Impact of Security Inadequacies

Failures in the security domain can render organizations susceptible to cyber-attacks, breaches, and violations, inevitably affecting compliance outcomes. These cyber risks disrupt business processes, putting at risk confidential and sensitive information and thus impacting overall compliance with industry standards. Hence, it is fundamental for an organization to incorporate security measures not merely for compliance, but to safeguard vital assets, secure data, uphold reputation and provide assurance to stakeholders.

Embedding Security into Organizational Fabric

Therefore, if compliance is the goal, weaving security into the very fabric of an organization is essential. This necessitates transforming approaches to view cybersecurity as an inherent part of the business strategy, thus amplifying overall compliance and resilience to cybersecurity threats.
