While organizations may cite specific cyber security measures as priorities, it\u2019s how they behave that truly matters. This was a key insight found in our inaugural Cyber Recovery Readiness Report<\/a>, in which we partnered with GigaOm to survey 1,000 global IT and security leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When analyzing the most resilient organizations, we found that they employed many measures, but five practices rose to the top when determining their true readiness. We call these practices maturity markers (see 5 Markers of Cyber Recovery Readiness, below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations demonstrating four or five markers are considered cyber mature. These companies report experiencing fewer breaches and recovering faster when they do get breached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, our survey found that only 4% of organizations have deployed all five markers, and just 13% practice at least four. At the bottom of the maturity curve, 14% have no key markers in place at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While fewer than half of all organizations feel confident in their recovery plans, more than half of cyber mature organizations (54%) feel substantially more confident in their ability to recover critical systems and data following a major incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An organization\u2019s level of cyber maturity can be measured by the presence of five markers. The most mature, cyber-ready organizations demonstrate four or five of these:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
