Gartner: Most Security Leaders Cannot Balance Data Security, Business Goals
DARKReading, Tuesday, February 11th, 2025
The analyst firm recommends defining security and governance processes while reducing friction for business stakeholders.
Only 14% of security and risk management leaders can effectively secure organizational data assets while also enabling the data to achieve business objectives, according to Gartner. In a recent survey, Gartner found that 35% of respondents secure data assets and 21% use data to achieve business goals, but only one in seven (14%) could do both effectively.
This gap exposes organizations to threats, regulatory penalties, and operational inefficiencies, Gartner said.
