Security News > 2020 > October > Cybersecurity practices are becoming more formal, security teams are expanding
Organizations are building confidence that their cybersecurity practices are headed in the right direction, aided by advanced technologies, more detailed processes, comprehensive education and specialized skills, a research from CompTIA finds.
At the same time, many companies acknowledge that there is still more to do to make their security posture even more robust.
Nine in 10 organizations said their cybersecurity processes have become more formal and more critical.
Two examples are risk management, where companies assess their data and their systems to determine the level of security that each requires; and monitoring and measurement, where security efforts are continually tracked and new metrics are established to tie security activity to business objectives.
Within IT teams, foundational skills such as network and endpoint security have been paired with new skills, including identity management and application security, that have become more important as cloud and mobility have taken hold.
