"Cybersecurity today is more than an IT issue - it's a core business risk affecting revenue, operations, reputation, and competitiveness. Yet most organizations still rely on subjective approaches, using gut instinct or limited data, often missing threats hidden in data silos, shadow IT, outdated software, or supply chain vulnerabilities. Is moving past intuition too disruptive? Not at all. Even with legacy systems and data silos, the shift to objective, data-driven risk management is achievable."
"The good news: Organizations don't need a massive overhaul. With structured frameworks, AI-powered analytics, and stepwise guidance, even incremental changes deliver real value. Moving to objective evaluation brings faster decisions, clearer priorities, and measurable resilience - without unnecessary hassle. Common roadblocks - and the way forward Nearly all organizations hit obstacles in their journey to effective risk assessment. It's easy to default to incomplete information, especially when teams are stretched and data is scattered."
Cybersecurity represents a core business risk that impacts revenue, operations, reputation, and competitiveness. Many organizations continue to use subjective assessments driven by gut instinct or limited data, leaving threats in data silos, shadow IT, outdated software, and supply chains. An Ivanti survey of 2,400 cybersecurity professionals shows widespread blockers: 55% face data silos, 45% struggle with shadow IT, 43% miss supply chain vulnerabilities, and 48% rely on EOL software. Objective, data-driven exposure management with structured frameworks, AI analytics, and incremental adoption enables faster decisions, clearer priorities, and measurable resilience without wholesale overhauls.
