In an era where digital threats are omnipresent, a notable 48% of organizations reported an increase in cyberattacks this year compared to the last in ISACA的2023年网络安全状况报告. This figure, while concerning, is the smallest reported increase in the past six years. Are cyber adversaries becoming stealthier, or are our defense mechanisms evolving?
Maybe the alarming truth is that 62% believe that a majority of organizations under-report cyberattacks, 是哪个扭曲了事实. This could be attributed to concerns over brand reputation, potential legal consequences or even unawareness. This statistic underscores the pressing need for transparency and collaboration in the cybersecurity domain.
人的因素:人员配置和技能
网络安全 isn’t just about technology; it's about the people behind it. The industry grapples with a staffing challenge, with 59% of leaders indicating their teams are understaffed. This isn’t merely a numbers game; it's about equipping teams with the right skills.
The State of 网络安全 report underscores that demand for technical skills such as identity and access management (49%), 云计算(48%), 资料保护(44%), 事件响应(44%), DevSecOps(36%)也在上升. Alongside these, soft skills are gaining prominence. 沟通是最重要的，占55%, 其次是批判性思维(54%), 解决问题(49%), teamwork (45%) and attention to detail (36%).
这些技能的融合至关重要, especially as we navigate the complexities introduced by technologies like AI. Yet, even with the right skills in place, retaining talent remains a hurdle. With 56% of cybersecurity leaders admitting difficulty in retaining qualified professionals, one must ask: Are we doing enough to nurture and retain our cybersecurity talent?
人工智能在网络安全中的作用
人工智能 (AI) is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. While AI-driven solutions offer enhanced threat detection and automated responses, 它们还引入了新的漏洞. 对手的攻击, data poisoning and model inversion are just a few examples of how AI systems can be compromised.
随着人工智能成为网络安全不可或缺的一部分, 48% of organizations emphasize the importance of cloud computing as a technical skill needed now. Given that many AI systems are hosted on cloud platforms, robust cloud security is indispensable. 此外, with 44% of respondents identifying data protection as an in-demand skill, it’s evident that safeguarding the data AI learns from is paramount.
ISACA认证, 受到安全部门领导人的高度重视, encompass a comprehensive range of information security domains. 来自资讯保安审核(中钢协)，到保安程序管理(CISM)，到澳门赌场官方下载风险管理(CRISC)，以及资料私隐(CDPSE)，以及治理和遵从性(CGEIT), these certifications provide a holistic perspective on AI integration within diverse environments.
Importance of Qualifications and Certifications
In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, qualifications are paramount. An overwhelming 95% of employers value hands-on experience when assessing a candidate’s qualification. 另外, 87% regard an information security or cybersecurity credential as a key qualification, and 80% stress the significance of hands-on security training.
Certifications not only validate expertise but also pave the way for structured learning. The preference for candidates with a CISM certification over non-certified individuals by 74% of security leaders underscores its value. As AI continues to shape the cybersecurity landscape, certifications like CISM will be pivotal in ensuring effective governance and risk management.
展望未来:2024年及以后
未来充满希望，也充满挑战. A significant 78% anticipate a surge in demand for technical cybersecurity contributors in the coming year. Concurrently, 48% foresee an increase in the demand for cybersecurity managers.
预算方面的考虑也在不断变化, with 51% predicting at least a modest increase in the next year. This could be a response to the multifaceted threat landscape, the integration of AI in cybersecurity and the need for skilled professionals to navigate these challenges.
Reflecting on the importance of preparedness and vigilance, 我想起了本杰明·富兰克林的话:By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.“在我们互联互通的数字时代, 尤其是随着人工智能的兴起, the need for robust cybersecurity measures is not just a luxury but a necessity.
