What are the most hack-resistant industries?
2020-09-25 04:00

Government and financial service sectors globally are the most hack-resistant industries in 2020, according to Synack.

Government and financial services scored 15 percent and 11 percent higher, respectively, than all other industries in 2020.

Throughout the year, both sectors faced unprecedented challenges due to the global pandemic, but still maintained a commitment to thorough and continuous security testing that lessened the risk from cyberattacks.

Continuous security testing played a significant role in the sector's ARS. Healthcare and life sciences scored 56 despite pandemic challenges.

A continuous approach to testing helps ensure vulnerabilities are found and fixed quickly, resulting in a higher ARS metric.
