The research, which is based on a survey of 1,200 security decision-makers in security roles at the VP level and above, found that:
- 82% of security leaders have been surprised by a security event, incident, or breach that evaded a control they thought was in place.
- Security teams from big enterprises now have an average of 76 security tools – an increase from 2019, when the average team was grappling with 64 security tools.
- Databases now top the list of assets that security leaders have the least visibility on (27%), which correlates with a sharp rise in ransomware attacks.
- Security teams spend over half of their time (54%) manually producing reports. This is a sharp increase from 2019, when it was 40%.
