MITRE Engenuity and Cybersecurity Insiders announced the results of a research about the state of affairs in managed services security.

The survey of IT security professionals representing organizations of all sizes from industries such as Technology, Healthcare, Retail, Government, Financial, and others set out to discover if organizations are adopting a threat-informed approach to cybersecurity, how they are adopting threat-informed approaches, and what organizations and IT security professionals are doing to improve their confidence in their ability to defend against cyber intrusions.

The survey, which polled individuals in IT security and operations across a wide range of industries, found that organizations largely conduct various offensive tests on products and services before and after purchasing them, and actively seek to become threat-informed by utilizing ATT&CK Evaluation's data.

What are organizations doing to improve their managed services security.

44% of respondents are not confident in the managed services security processes.

"Based on the results of this survey, it is clear that the participants' level of confidence in their managed services is much lower compared to their in-house security people and technology, in which 78% reported feeling confident," added Holger Schulze, CEO, Cybersecurity Insiders.
