Summary
A significant number of organizations face difficulties in identifying the sources of their data security incidents, with one-third unaware of the causes behind breaches in the past year. According to the Foundry/CSO Security Priorities Study 2024, only 67% of security leaders can identify breach causes, complicated further by lengthy detection times and the sophistication of modern attacks. Additionally, financial constraints and a shortage of skilled professionals hinder effective investigations. The reliance on outsourced security operations and the absence of robust monitoring systems contribute to challenges in understanding and responding to incidents, often resulting in inadequate follow-up and root cause analysis.
