Bottom line: Cybersecurity attention can be fleeting, lasting only a few months after a breach.
What's happening: ManageEngine surveyed 700 IT and cybersecurity leaders in the US and Canada, finding that 62% of them experienced a data breach in 2022, with 45% reporting a breach in the first quarter of 2023. The survey also revealed that 71% of respondents returned to their previous security practices within 6 months after the breach.
What to do: Security leaders should prioritize regular security assessments and training to maintain a proactive approach to cybersecurity, rather than relying on a single response to a breach.
