7 in 10 cybersecurity professionals losing battle against hackers: Report

Nearly seven in 10 cyber-security professionals globally, including from India, lament that they are losing ground against the growing breed of hackers and nation-state bad actors, a report showed on Tuesday.

Nearly 82 per cent of them estimated their organisation lost up to 10 per cent of revenue from security breaches in the last 12 months.

Only 6 per cent of Indian organisations are working with a fully integrated security model, with another 12 per cent in the process of changing their siloed set-up, according to research by cyber-security firm Trellix.

Seven in 10 cybersecurity professionals admit their current security tools don’t enable their SecOps team to work with maximum efficiency and almost one third said they have blind spots in their protection today.
