Fortinet’s 2018 Security Implications of Digital Transformation Survey looks at the state of cybersecurity in organizations around the world from the lens of digital transformation (DX). Three hundred responses from CISOs and CSOs at large organizations helped us identify several current trends:
– Digital transformation is the most impactful IT trend on businesses today, with 92% responding that it has a large impact today.
– Security is by far the biggest challenge to DX efforts, with 85% of respondents saying it has a large impact.
– The typical organization saw four attacks that resulted in data loss, outages, or compliance events over two years.
– Many companies have automated some of their security procedures, but they are even further behind with other security best practices.
– Big chunks of infrastructure remain vulnerable in the typical organization, with 25% of the infrastructure not adequately protected at the typical organization.
