When Safeguarding Digital Communications,IT Security Leaders Come Across Continued Vulnerabilities

SafeGuard Cyber | July 13, 2021

The only SaaS platform dedicated to managing the entire lifecycle of digital risk protection, SafeGuard Cyber, has released conclusions from a survey of 100 IT security leaders about their safeguarding digital communications and digital risk processes. The finding of the survey indicates that cybersecurity leaders recognize what is required for adequate digital risk protection. But, they are still dealing with boundaries and susceptibilities in defending these communications, such asthird-party cloud application engagement.

The survey was conducted in June 2021 in coordination with the research community Pulse. The main point covered in the survey was uncovering how cybersecurity leaders are managing digital risks on third-party applications. In addition, the survey was also focused on recognizing who owns the responsibility for securing them and what all can be done to progress their administration's security posture for various cloud applications. 100 senior enterprise IT and security professionals from companies with over 5,000 employees were included in the survey.

The main findings from the survey include:

• The biggest challenge for security leaders, who targets to uphold security and compliance across all professional communications, is lack of visibility (39%)
• Security leaders are most concerned about data loss (46%) regarding digital communication risks, followed by malware and ransomware attacks (37%).
• Only 10% of cybersecurity leaders have a tech stack that provides complete visibility for detecting and responding to threats in cloud applications outside of their network.
• Security leaders often restrict access as a means of managing risk where they lack granular visibility. For example, to ensure security and compliance on social media, collaboration, and mobile chat applications, most security leaders (77%) turn to tools that restrict access to third-party communication apps.
