Sixty-seven percent of respondents “report that engaging external security operations partners is crucial to maturing their security operations practices.” Indeed, respondents report spending 60% of their cybersecurity operations budget on managed and consulting security services. The 232 U.S.-based cybersecurity operations leaders that were surveyed are practical about where they need help and many are looking to external partners to fill their skills and technology gaps. Round-the-clock security operations coverage can run the limited staff within an SMB absolutely ragged. At the higher end of the SMB category are organizations as large as 2,500 employees and $2 billion in annual revenue, so that’s not a lot of security staffing to protect the business and its people and assets. 67% of respondents’ organizations have 1 to 10 full time employees solely dedicated to cybersecurity and that’s everyone providing security support, including whoever might be staffing a SOC. Maybe the title gives it away – the study found that, while 81% of small and medium-size businesses surveyed are monitored by a SOC ( encouraging!), most–57%–do not operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ( discouraging!). These are some of the questions that are addressed in the study, titled Attackers Don’t Sleep, But Your Employees Need To.
