SecurityScorecard recently sponsored a research study conducted by CyberEdge, which surveyed 600 enterprise IT security professionals representing seven countries and 19 industries. The survey looked at enterprise IT security teams and the impact of COVID-19 on IT security budgets and personnel, challenges of supporting a remote workforce, and new technology investments. Key insights include:
- Three in four (73%) organizations have experienced elevated third-party risks
- 43% of enterprises have increased their third-party risk management (TPRM) technology investments
- The top three pandemic challenges are an increased volume of threats, insufficient remote access / VPN capacity, and increased risks due to unmanaged devices
