More than 64 percent of organizations suffered at least one successful attack within the last year, and 59 percent believe lack of network visibility poses a high or very high risk to their operations, ExtraHop reveals.

As enterprise organizations and government agencies grapple with how to enable, manage, and secure newly distributed remote workforces, network visibility is more critical than ever as they adjust to the new IT reality.

The survey exposes key gaps in enterprise security, including that 98 percent of respondents are concerned about their ability to see into encrypted traffic, while over 80 percent identified east-west traffic and network connected devices as areas of opacity.

"At a time when organizations are rapidly transitioning to remote work and cloud usage is surging, network visibility has never been more critical," said Hein.

Over 93 percent of respondents indicated that they manage more than a thousand endpoints, and almost 90 percent manage between hundreds to thousands of servers.
