State of Cybersecurity 2019 reports the results of the annual ISACA global State of Cybersecurity Survey, conducted in November 2018. While some findings pointed to unforeseen trends, many survey results reinforce previous years’ findings—specifically that the need for trained and experienced cybersecurity professionals vastly outweighs the supply. State of Cybersecurity 2019 provides a distinctive view of cybersecurity from the perspective of those who define the field—cybersecurity managers and practitioners. This is the first report based on the survey, which focuses on the current trends in cybersecurity workforce development, staffing, budget and gender diversity.

In early 2016, Hexadite commissioned the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) to complete a study of 100 IT and cybersecurity professionals with knowledge of or responsibility for incident response (IR) processes and technologies at their organizations. This research project was intended to assess the current practices and challenges associated with incident response processes and technologies. Furthermore, respondents were asked about their future strategic plans intended to improve the efficacy and efficiency of IR activities. This paper presents the details of those findings.

This white paper tackles the subject of how outsourced labor can cause cybersecurity risk.
