Survey Sees Organizations Being Overwhelmed By Remediation Challenges
Security Boulevard, Tuesday, February 4th, 2025
A survey of 150 security decision makers in the U.S., published today, finds that close to two thirds of cybersecurity incidents (62%) involved issues that were previously known to be a potential threat.
Conducted by ZEST Security, the survey finds half of respondents work for organizations where 56% of risks identified can't for one reason or another be remediated.
Overall, the survey also makes it clear that cybersecurity and IT teams are being overwhelmed by remediation requests. A full 87% of respondents said their organization's backlog of ticket requests for remediation includes at least 100 critical security issues.
