The top cyber security challenges are:
· Products and Services Fatigue: Number of IT products and services being used (to conduct business) are staggeringly high.
· Tools Fatigue: Number of Security Products being used/needed to identify vulnerabilities and threats are high.
· Alerts Fatigue: Number of low fidelity alerts that lack any context, being generated by these tools are high.
The ways to raise protection level are:
· Take a platform approach than deploying point products
· Invest time, energy and resources in automation of vulnerability and threat response
· Upskill, train and increase security quotient of all the stakeholders (employees, executives, partners, vendors)
There are a variety of initiatives by the public and private sectors that are addressing the cyber security skill gap problem but the shortage may continue for some more time even in 2023.
