We’ve traced another worrying trend that is responsible for cyberdefenses lowering and increasing IT security budgets:ħ0% of organizations’ IT managers claim to have automated patch management. Overconfidence as a trend: IT teams are overselling their readiness “Attackers don’t discriminate when it comes to means or targets, so strong and reliable security is no longer an option, it’s a necessity.” And that’s precisely the problem Acronis has set out to solve,” says Candid Wuest, Acronis V.P. “As the entire world is increasingly at risk from different types of attacks, accelerating to universal all-in-one solutions is the only way to achieve truly complete cyber protection. This downtime stemmed from a number of sources, including system crashes (52%), human error (42%), cyberattacks (36%) and insider attacks (20%).Īs a result, 61% of global organizations’ IT teams now report a preference for integrated solutions that replace their complicated stacks of cybersecurity and data protection tools with a single, unified console. This year, we see that trend getting worse: while 78% of organizations globally run as many as 10 different solutions, 76% of organizations experienced downtime due to data loss - a 25% increase from 2021. Clearly, more solutions do not translate into more protection. One of our key findings last year was that 80% of organizations ran as many as 10 solutions simultaneously for data protection and cybersecurity - yet more than half of them suffered downtime because of data loss. The report which surveyed over 6,200 IT users and IT managers from small businesses to enterprises across 22 countries, exposes some of the most critical shortcomings appearing in cyber protection practices today, examines why they’re appearing and offers guidance on how they can be fixed. Acronis (), the global leader in cyber protection (), has released its annual Cyber Protection Week Global Report 2022 () timed to this year’s World Backup Day. Acronis Cyber Protection Week Global Report 2022 reveals growing threats and need for integrated cyber protection solutionsħ6% of organizations suffered downtime and data loss in 2021, system crashes, human error and cyberattacks to blame
