Based on insights from a comprehensive survey of over 150 security decision-makers working in large U.S. enterprises, ZEST Security’s Cloud Risk Exposure Impact Report highlights how the increase of risk backlogs and slow remediation processes magnify the volume and impact of cyber incidents.
Key findings include:
- Most incidents are tied to backlogged risks that are known to the organization
- Remediation takes organizations months, while attackers only need days to exploit open risks
- The annual cost of remediation is staggering when examining direct factors involved, including time, resources, and effort
