Many security executives say they're unprepared for the threats that lie ahead. As cyberattacks grow in both number and sophistication, organizations are increasingly under the gun to protect themselves from compromise.

A report released Tuesday by research firm ThoughtLab looks at how businesses and government agencies can better defend themselves against the security threats that lie ahead. SEE: Mobile device security policy.

Organizations that provide effective security training, successfully recruit and retain security staff, and are sensitive to security risks see fewer breaches and take less time to respond to a breach.

Organizations that pay attention to supply-chain security do better at detecting, responding to and mitigating security threats.

Organizations that reported no breaches invested in basic defenses such as email security and identity management as well as specialized tools such as cloud access security brokers, cyber-risk models and SIEMs. But the trick is to adopt a multi-layered strategy without crowding your environment with too many disparate and disconnected security technologies.
