4 ways businesses can close the cyber risk gap

Cybersecurity has become a critical concern for governments and businesses worldwide in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. As organizations navigate increasingly complex and sophisticated cyber threat environments, how prepared are they to mitigate these risks?

Along with AWS, Kyndryl surveyed IT decision-makers from over 600 large enterprises across seven industries and 12 countries to understand their preparedness for fast-changing cybersecurity threats. According to the survey, over half (54%) of large organizations reported experiencing a disruptive cyberattack in the last year, with 61% facing four or more attacks. And while 94% of survey respondents feel prepared to mitigate cyberattacks, 71% believe they are likely to experience a disruptive incident in the next year. This disconnect reveals an opportunity to bridge the gap between perceived readiness and actual resilience.

Here are four cybersecurity challenges organizations face - and the strategies they can adopt to move from risk to resilience.
