A new IronNet survey shows that over 94% of organizations share certain intelligence (such as malicious IP’s and domains) as a form of collective defense and the same number of firms is open to share more intel with industry peers if this will boost their threat detection efforts, while 92% of companies think the same way about sharing more information with government agencies.
The research also indicates that many IT security leaders are overly confident about their firm’s cybersecurity strategy. While 55% of respondents believe their cybersecurity capabilities are better than that of most other businesses in their industry and 85% consider their IT security tools and systems to be advanced, the average organization in the survey suffered 4 cyberattacks per year, and close to 80% experienced a serious cyber incident that prompted it to organize a special C-level/Board meeting.
