The report also reveals that 84% of organizations are having trouble understanding which signals to investigate, while 83% are struggling to prioritize investigations.
The report highlights that cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with 45% of respondents admitting that they are beyond their organization's capabilities. Additionally, 58% of those surveyed wish that their IT teams could focus more on strategic issues instead of firefighting, and 53% said that cyber threats have impacted their IT team's work on other projects.
