Raef Meeuwisse, CISA, CISM
“网络安全 is an accelerating battleground where AI has begun to amplify both threats and defenses. Gone are the days when ‘good enough’ security could shield even the most robust enterprises. The survey shows that most organizations may still exude a degree of overconfidence which their staffing and funding may not live up to. The choice for organizations is clear: either identify and fortify your vulnerabilities against attack, or watch as adversaries exploit them, 它可以, in an increasing number of cases, leave your enterprise no second chances for remediation. The era of mastering the basics is closing; now is the time to be brilliant or be breached.”
杰森刘, CGEIT, CRISC, CISA, CISM, CDPSE, CISSP, CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, CEH, HCISPP, FIP
“The alarming truth is that 62% believe that a majority of organizations under-report cyberattacks, which skew the reality. This could be attributed to concerns over brand reputation, potential legal consequences or even unawareness. This statistic underscores the pressing need for transparency and collaboration in the cybersecurity domain.”
玛丽卡迈克尔, CRISC, CISA, CPA, Member of ISACA Emerging Trends Working Group
“In cybersecurity, overconfidence is a silent adversary. The ISACA study reveals a compelling discrepancy: 55 percent of respondents believe their board of directors prioritizes enterprise cybersecurity, and 75 percent are confident in the alignment of their cybersecurity strategy with enterprise objectives. 然而,, beneath these assurances lies a stark reality—a significant number of boards are lacking essential cybersecurity expertise. As regulatory bodies move towards standardizing disclosures on cybersecurity risk management and data breach notifications, the unpreparedness of these boards becomes increasingly evident. True security lies not in self-assured declarations, but in the capability to recognize gaps and the drive to bridge them. Overconfidence is a liability, often obscuring the true risks at hand.”
