Government security teams find themselves in perpetual cybersecurity crisis mode, working to detect each new breach quickly, limit the spread within the network, and deal with remediation.
It’s time for a cyber reset across Federal, state, and local governments.
MeriTalk surveyed 300 Federal, state, and local cybersecurity leaders on cyber threats and priorities. The findings highlight the importance of challenging the ‘assume breach’ mindset and explore steps needed to improve breach prevention.
of government cybersecurity leaders estimate their high-value assets (HVAs) have been potentially compromised in the past 12 months
are concerned about their organization’s platform security – the architecture, tools, and processes that ensure the security of an entire computing platform
say their organization focuses the most cyber resources on detection, confinement, or remediation – just 39% say prevention
want to see their organization shift from ‘assume breach’ to breach prevention in the next three years
agree prioritizing platform security is a key step toward breach prevention
"Protection and remediation are only part of the solution. More focus needs to be around prevention."
“Cyber leaders are underwater, but it is possible to move toward a reality where breaches are not a given.”
“The idea of preventing attacks is gone, and everyone assumes that everything is already compromised. That isn’t appropriate when critical infrastructure and human lives are at stake.”
