ComputerWeekly, Friday, February 14th, 2025
Only 14% of security leaders can 'effectively secure organisational data assets while also enabling the use of data to achieve business objectives', according to Gartner
Around the world, security leaders say they are struggling to balance the need to appropriately secure their data and the need to maximise efficient use of this data to hit their business objectives, according to a study produced by analysts at Gartner, who found that only 14% of cyber leaders were keeping on top of this.
The analyst's poll of 318 senior security leaders - conducted in the summer of 2024 - found 35% were confident they could secure data assets, and 21% were confident they could use data to achieve their business goals. The ability to do both was beyond six in seven.
