According to Cisco, a primary cause for too many solutions is the tendency to rely on technology to solve the problems of increased security complexity.
"As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation, CISOs are placing higher priority in adopting new security technologies to reduce exposure against malicious actors and threats," comments Steve Martino, SVP and CISO at Cisco.
Implementing a zero-trust solution is difficult and time-consuming, and is a long-term project - but it is considered by many security experts to be a solid approach to cybersecurity.
Despite the increasing complexity of security, and the somewhat disappointing findings in some areas, the Cisco survey finds that security professionals have made positive steps to improve their security posture.
Collaboration between network teams and security teams is high, with 91% of respondents reporting they are very or extremely collaborative.
