Although the primary goal of cybersecurity is to prevent all attacks, 100% prevention is not possible. The reality is that an attacker only needs to find one weakness or vulnerability. The attack surface organization is becoming increasingly complex, and the threat landscape continues to expand rapidly, making 100% protection against attacks nearly impossible. Detecting and blocking threats is important, but the real goal of cybersecurity is cyber resilience—ensuring that cyberattacks do not disrupt operations and productivity. A strong cyber resiliency strategy that provides an integrated approach that combines cybersecurity with data protection and disaster recovery practices can help businesses protect and recover from devastating cyber incidents.

In a recent survey, 73% of respondents said they had experienced a major security breach in their IaaS environment in the past two years that required significant additional resources to address. The average number of leaks during this period was 2.0. As attacks become more malicious and technology more sophisticated, strategies and plans to mitigate the impact of these attacks must also change. Businesses need new skills and methods to survive in cyberspace and adapt to today's disruptive scenarios.

To continue discussing new trends and strategies to help prevent cyberattacks, join Group Futurista in presenting ‘The Future of Cyber Resilience for Business’ with participating industry experts as attendees.
