LevelBlue Cybersecurity Awareness Month Recap |
Texte |
Each year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month serves as a reminder of the critical role that cybersecurity plays in our lives. Every October, LevelBlue champions this initiative which brings awareness to cyber risks, and promotes best practices to protect against growing cyber threats.
Throughout the month, we focused the spotlight on cyber resilience – sharing key trends and insights through research, thought leadership, and social media.
LevelBlue Research on Cyber Resilience
This month LevelBlue released the 2024 Futures Report: Cyber Resilience in Financial Services and 2024 Futures Report: Cyber Resilience in Energy and Utilities, research highlighting trends around the barriers to cyber resilience in each industry. As attacks increase, compounded by the complexities of dynamic computing and an evolving threat landscape organizations are more vulnerable than ever. Notably, however, a key takeaway from our research was that despite acknowledging an increased exposure to risks, organizations believe computing innovation benefits outweigh the cybersecurity risks.
The LevelBlue Futures Reports also revealed common trends across both industries including:
72% and 77% of financial services and energy and utilities organizations respectively, indicate that digital transformation is an ongoing barrier to cybersecurity resilience
72% and 68% of financial services and energy and utilities organizations respectively, indicate that cyber resilience efforts are often siloed
62% and 61% of financial services and energy and utilities organizations respectively, reveal there’s a lack of understanding about cybersecurity at the board level
LevelBlue’s research outlines five key strategies for business leaders to follow to achieve cyber resilience. We encourage security and business leaders to leverage our research to start the conversation about cyber resilience in their organizations.
Insights from Our Executives on Cyber Resilience
In addition to our research, LevelBlue executives offered valuable insights on the importance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, emphasizing the ongoing need for vigilance and resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats.
Rakesh Shah, AVP - Product Management, shared his perspective with VMblog on how businesses should work to safeguard their most important assets during Cybersecurity Awareness Month - and beyond. He notes, “During a time when threat actors are leveraging generative AI to write targeted emails, impersonate public figures and personal contacts, as well as write new malware, we must act quickly and collaboratively. The pendulum will soon swing to the other side, as defenders and vendors invest in AI to counterbalance what the malicious actors are doing. We need to simplify security and take a page from the offense\'s AI playbook, not just this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but for years to come.”
Appearing on an episode of Security Guy TV, Rakesh discussed the importance of the Zero Trust security model to safeguard digital environments.
During October, LevelBlue proudly served as a Platinum sponsor for the 14th Annual Lonestar Application Security Conference (LASCON) in Austin, TX. The event attracts top speakers and attendees from around the world, offering a unique opportunity to gain cutting-edge knowledge from expertly curated sessions. Beyond cybersecurity insights, participants enjoyed hands-on experiences, from lock-picking workshops to thrilling bull rides. |
