Results from a recent poll suggest that security strategies and solutions are not being evolved fast enough to defend firms against the increasingly sophisticated threats they face.
The majority (83%) of respondents from an Infosecurity Europe 2019 Twitter poll believe that organisations are not innovating as quickly as the cyber criminals who plan to attack them.
According to Infosecurity Group, an inability to innovate rapidly also points to a lack of agility and responsiveness, which will inhibit a business’s growth.

Email JaimeVictoria Windsor, Group Content Manager at Infosecurity Group, commented on the latest findings, “Cyber security innovation is vital if businesses are to stay one step ahead of cyber attackers, who are constantly honing their own techniques. It’s also an important driver of competitive advantage – security is no longer seen as a function that ‘puts the brakes’ on a business’s endeavours to move forward, in the interests of protecting it.
“Businesses must therefore urgently invest in building their capacity for innovation, by developing their people and creating an environment in which new ideas can flourish.”
The poll also asked respondents what will be the most important skill for the next generation of security professionals. Almost half (46%) predicted that this will be threat intelligence. A quarter (24%) opted for quantum computing, 21% for knowledge of AI and machine learning, and 9% for DevSecOps.
