Top insights and best practices from the new Microsoft Data Security Index report | Microsoft Security Blog
Data security is a constant concern of CISOs and business executives. To better understand the security issues, Microsoft partnered with the independent research agency Hypothesis Group to conduct a multinational survey involving more than 800 data security professionals. Our collaborative effort has resulted in the publication of the Data Security Index report, designed to offer valuable insights into current data security practices and trends. Moreover, it aims to identify practical opportunities for organizations to enhance their data security efforts.
In this article, you'll learn some of the key findings from the report, including:
- Data security incidents remain frequent
- Vulnerabilities manifest in various dimensions due to a diverse set of factors
- How a fragmented solution landscape can weaken an organization's data security posture
What percentage of organizations faced data security incidents?
A significant 74 percent of organizations surveyed reported experiencing at least one data security incident involving exposed business data in the previous year.
How many data security incidents occur on average?
Organizations reported an average of 59 data security incidents in the past year, with 20 percent of these incidents classified as severe, potentially costing up to USD 15 million annually.
Why is a fragmented security solution landscape a concern?
Organizations using more than 16 tools to secure data experience 2.8 times more data security incidents compared to those using fewer tools. This fragmentation complicates incident response and increases the volume of alerts, making it challenging to effectively manage data security.
