GEC NEWS WIREMimecast Limited published its e-book, Strengthen Your Defenses Against Cybercrime: Cyber Resilience Planning for Email, that voices insights and prescriptive advice from members of the Cyber Resilience Think Tank. This first-of-its-kind Cyber Resilience Think Tank was first hosted by Mimecast at the RSA Conference 2017, bringing together top industry experts to discuss the meaning of cyber resilience.
In this e-book, Think Tank members weigh-in on the critical need for organizations to build a cyber resilience strategy for email, amid a turbulent cybersecurity landscape. New research from Mimecast and Vanson Bourne, presented in the e-book, reveals too many organizations aren’t making cyber resilience a priority.
Strengthen Your Defenses Against Cybercrime discusses how organizations continue to struggle with business disruptions due to the rise of advanced threats, technical failures and human error. While the definition of ‘cyber resilience’ can vary across industry, this research indicates that organizations acknowledge the need for a plan yet only 30% of respondents have adopted a complete cyber resilience strategy, with about one third still in the early stages of development or planning.
“We are currently outmatched and don’t have the capabilities to fight back. I have accepted the fact that cyberattacks will get in, despite my layered defenses. However, I work closely with my business on how to mitigate so they are prepared to act and aware of the implications” said Helen Rabe, Head of Information Security – Strategy, Risk and Compliance at Costa Coffee.
“Mimecast’s first Cyber Resilience Think Tank was a meeting of the minds. It was great to bring together some of brightest experts in cybersecurity and collaborate on what organizations need to do to build a comprehensive cyber resilient strategy” said Neil Murray, CTO at Mimecast.
