Security News > 2022 > March > How fast can organizations respond to a cybersecurity crisis?

These were broken down to understand the workforce cyber capabilities of cybersecurity, application security and crisis response teams.

Analysis of 35,000 cybersecurity team members inside 400 large organizations reveals it takes over three months on average to develop the knowledge, skills and judgment to defend against breaking threats, except with Log4j.

Cybersecurity teams prioritize knowledge, skills and judgment development against high-profile threat groups.

Application security teams develop human cyber capabilities faster than cybersecurity teams.

The average application security exercise is completed 2.5 minutes under the predicted complete time - but cybersecurity labs take 17 minutes longer than expected.

Pointing towards a potential future problem for the industry, of the 176,000 exercises completed by university students and other groups aiming for a career in cybersecurity, application security skills have the lowest engagement rate - a quarter of that of offensive cybersecurity skills.
