Half of global CISOs feel their organization is unprepared to deal with cyberattacks.

As part of Proofpoint's "2022 Voice of the CISO" report, it was revealed that 50% of 1,400 CISOs surveyed feel their company is unequipped to deal with a cyberattack, and 48% feel that their organization is at risk of suffering a material cyberattack within the next year.

If the majority of CISOs have said they feel confident with more employees working outside the office now more than ever, then why do they feel unprepared?

Within the last year only half of the global CISOs surveyed have increased the frequency of cybersecurity training for employees.

Half of the CISOs surveyed for the report also said that the increased rate of employees moving in and out of the organization presents an increased challenge when it comes to protecting their company's sensitive information and intellectual property.
