The Global State of Information Security® Survey 2017
Moving forward with cybersecurity and privacy
Organizations are adopting innovative cybersecurity and privacy safeguards to manage threats and achieve competitive advantages. To do so, they are thinking more broadly about cybersecurity and privacy as both protectors and enablers for the business, third-party partners and customers.
This year, the key findings show that survey respondents are focusing on four areas:
- Adoption of new safeguards for digital business models
- Implementing business-critical threat intelligence and information-sharing programs
- Securing the potential of the Internet of Things
- Taking a proactive approach to managing geopolitical threats

Equally integral is sharing of threat intelligence with business peers, industry groups and government agencies. We will explore how organizations are enhancing threat intelligence and information sharing to create a more proactive, resilient defense.
