Code42 Highlights Cybersecurity Research that Reveals Organizations Feel Most Ill-Equipped to Detect Insider Attacks as well as Develop and Test Applications

Hosts live webinar with Cyberedge Group to recap results from the 2019 Cyberthreat Defense Report

MINNEAPOLIS--()--Code42, the leader in next-gen data loss protection, announced that it will co-host a complimentary live webinar entitled, “Insider Threat: Still an Unsolved Challenge.” The webinar is co-presented by the CyberEdge Group, a leading research and marketing firm serving the security industry and authors of the 2019 Cyberthreat Defense Report. The report surveyed 1,200 IT and security decision-makers across 17 countries and 19 industries for their opinions about cyberthreats and their plans to defend against them. The webinar will be held on Thursday, May 9 from 1:00-1:45 p.m. CDT and is open for registration.

The webinar will highlight key findings from the report, including:

  • The percentage of mid-sized organizations (88 percent) affected by a successful cyberattack increased slightly from last year.
  • Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of IT and security professionals believe a successful cyberattack is imminent in 2019.
  • More organizations fell victim to ransomware than last year and more paid the ransom (45 percent), but only 61 percent of those that paid recovered their data.
  • Organizations feel most ill-equipped to detect insider attacks as well as develop and test applications.
  • Security continues to consume a larger portion (13 percent) of overall IT budgets.

Following the webinar, attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the 2019 Cyberthreat Defense Report as well as an infographic and executive summary of key results.
