Better Breach Disclosure – Only 11% of respondents say they have investigated a data breach that was not disclosed to customers, partners or other stakeholders. A new survey from ThreatTrack Security reveals that U.S. companies have lost ground to cyber attack perpetrators. Compared to results from the same survey, from November 2013 , 80% of security analysts reported that defending their networks from cyber attacks remained as, if not more difficult. Among the key challenges facing security analysts was a shortage of time to analyse malware ( 47% ); insufficient budget for the right tools ( 34% ); a lack of highly-skilled security staff ( 37% ), although this improved slightly on the previous study; and varied technical challenges. In technical challenges, the complexity of malware ( 34% ) and its volume ( 80% ) were rated highest. ThreatTrack president, John Lyons revealed that: “Despite access to more tools, security analysts, the most critical resource within an enterprise's cyber defence remain ill-equipped, underfunded and understaffed in their November 2013 battle against advanced malware.”
