2. However, nearly half of respondents (46 percent) said they don’t feel comfortable with their cybersecurity team’s ability to address incidents beyond “simple” cybersecurity issues.
3. Only 31 percent of respondents said their organization routinely tests security controls, while 13 percent of respondents said their organization never tests security controls.
4. Although 62 percent of respondents said their organization experienced a ransomware attack in 2016, only 53 percent of respondents said they have a formal process in place to address ransomware.
