Top 4 Takeaways from Fortra’s 2024 Cyber Survey By Antonio Sanchez, Principal Cybersecurity Evangelist, Fortra What were the biggest cybersecurity challenges companies faced in 2023? And what will security leaders focus on in 2024? Fortra launched its inaugural State of Cybersecurity Survey to help answer pressing questions like these and provide insight to the industry. There were over 400 responses to our inaugural survey representing 40 different industries across the world. Here are the big takeaways from this year’s survey. Phishing and Smishing Four out of five people cited phishing and smishing as their top risk for 2024. To gain initial access, phishing is still the most common tactic used in an attack campaign and it continues to evolve with new innovations. Early 2023 saw a sudden rise in popularity of ChatGPT, which has been used to create more Cyber Defense eMagazine – March 2024 Edition 188 Copyright © 2024, Cyber Defense Magazine.

enticing emails in cleaner grammar and punctuation in many languages. Smishing is also rising in popularity as employees use their personal mobile devices for business. In both instances, the bad actor wants the victim to let down their guard for just a moment and click on a link. This allows the bad actor to gain entry and continue the attack sequence. Organizations should ensure their employees use multifactor authentication (MFA) and ongoing security awareness training to help protect themselves. Hybrid Cloud Security Sixty-four percent of respondents said they plan to have a hybrid IT model of both cloud and on-premises. Digital transformation initiatives have driven cloud adoption with strategies of being cloud-preferred and cloud-first, but there is still a need for an on-premises footprint for many organizations. Customers have shared that mission-critical workloads may remain on-premises as the preferred choice for data sovereignty requirements. Others said certain workloads have architectural limitations in the cloud or the resource requirements for refactoring don’t justify moving to the cloud. Whatever the reason, on-premises footprints will always be part of the IT estate for the majority of organizations now and into the future, requiring security leaders to develop a holistic approach for securing a hybrid environment. This includes visibility and consistency across all environments for things like threat management, identity and access management, and misconfigurations. Vendor Consolidation Vendor consolidation is something that two out of three organizations will be focusing on in 2024. In years past, when there was a new attack vector, there would be a new category of tools to address that problem. Security teams wanted the best-of-breed tooling to address each new attack vector; this has resulted in tool sprawl, creating an operational nightmare. Customers have told us there is now a higher priority on solutions that are tightly integrated and solve a broad set of use cases. Being best-of-breed is a bonus, but not the primary driver anymore. Organizations cite overlapping capabilities in tools as one of the drivers that helps reduce vendors, along with simplified operations, which reduce costs and operational overhead. Third-Party Support One of the more interesting takeaways from the survey is that over half of respondents are either using or planning to use a third party to help secure their organization. Transferring a portion of the operational burden to a managed security service provider (MSSP) allows the organization’s security team to focus their efforts on more impactful and higher value projects. The areas where respondents most often say they are using an MSSP include email security and anti-phishing (58%), vulnerability management (52%), and data protection (51%). In most instances, an MSSP can manage the operational burden of a security control for less than the cost of a skilled full-time headcount.
