Cybersecurity frameworks are not enough to protect organizations against today's threats

Check out the on-demand sessions from the Low-Code/No-Code Summit to learn how to successfully innovate and gain efficiencies by improving and scaling citizen developers. Watch now.

As cybersecurity incidents proliferate, critical infrastructure and global enterprises are increasingly targeted by gangs of financially motivated cybercriminals and even nation-state threat actors. Businesses today face proliferating threats and increasing risks in an ever-changing threat landscape.

Last year, new cryptojacking and ransomware programs increased by 75% and 42% respectively, while OT vulnerabilities jumped by 88%. Overall, businesses experienced an average of 270 attacks in 2021, up 31% from 2020.

It's clear that threats are growing at an unprecedented rate, leaving security teams grappling with the seemingly endless challenges that these risks bring. To address the business risk that is now at the forefront of cybersecurity boardroom discussions, companies in both the public and private sectors have implemented cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST and MITER ATT&CK.

Cybersecurity frameworks are designed to help businesses and governments better understand, manage and reduce their cybersecurity risks. Currently, all 16 critical infrastructure sectors, including energy and manufacturing, use the NIST framework, while 80% of enterprises use MITER ATT&CK. A recent study by ThoughtLab highlights that large organizations often use multiple frameworks to comply with global standards and improve cybersecurity outcomes.

While frameworks such as NIST and MITER ATT&CK provide a practical foundation for basic cybersecurity practices, organizations should view them as the beginning of their cybersecurity journey, not the final destination. To ensure they have a comprehensive and effective security program, companies must continue to develop o...
