Notable Quote:
“While cyberattacks are on the rise with associated costs climbing, increasing cyber resilience across industries still remains a low priority for business executives. Our research delves into the proactive measures executives can take to effectively balance innovation with risk mitigation.”
Our Take:
The findings of LevelBlue's 2024 Futures Report highlight a critical gap in cybersecurity resilience, particularly within manufacturing and transportation sectors. While innovation in dynamic computing drives progress, the fact that a majority of leaders see cybersecurity as a team-specific responsibility rather than a strategic priority is alarming. As cyber threats continue to escalate, it’s evident that a shift towards more proactive and enterprise-wide cyber resilience is necessary. Without this, organizations risk financial losses and operational disruptions that could have been mitigated through earlier planning and strategic alignment.
