Security News > 2020 > July > Phishing attacks and ransomware are the most challenging threats for many organizations
In a new report released on Wednesday, enterprise security provider Balbix looks at the top threats cited in a survey of security professionals.
For many organizations, limited visibility into their security holes and an inability to prioritize security issues are creating greater risk.
"The findings of our report make it abundantly clear that security professionals remain inundated with the challenge of maintaining comprehensive visibility over their complex attack surface while also combatting the evolving threat landscape," Balbix CTO Vinay Sridhara said in a press release.
Lastly, infosec teams should have visibility into the severity of vulnerabilities to know if they are real threats or just noise.
With 80% of organizations providing more access privileges than necessary for their users, it is critical to have visibility into the threats affecting these users.
