The vast majority (79%) of ITDMs say cybersecurity is a high priority for their organizations, with a similar percentage (83%) also saying that their organizations have increased spending in this area now compared with two years ago. Despite the greater importance of cybersecurity, only 61% believe that their team receives a great deal of organizational resources and support toward cybersecurity measures.
More than half (56%) of ITDMs report higher-than-normal turnover within their department within the last year, with 46% saying that the labor shortage has had a major impact on their team’s ability to perform when it comes to cybersecurity measures.
