Dynatrace CISO Report: Security-C-Suite Alignment Gaps Expose Organizations to AI-driven Cyber Threats

INDIA, 4th May 2024 Dynatrace (NYSE: DT), the leader in unified observability and security, released its annual CISO survey today. This year’s report, “The State of Application Security in 2024”, reveals that organizations are struggling with internal communication barriers, which hinder their ability to address cybersecurity threats. The results indicate that CISOs find it difficult to drive alignment between security teams and the C-suite, leaving gaps in the organization’s understanding of cyber risk. As a result, they find themselves more exposed to advanced cyber threats, at a time when AI-driven attacks are on the rise.

In this year’s report, Dynatrace explored these communication gaps to better understand how a unified approach to observability and security can help teams collaborate more effectively and reduce risk exposure.

Key findings include:

· Lack of C-level and board alignment leads to cyber risks: CISOs struggle to drive alignment between security teams and the C-suite, with 87% of CISOs saying application security is a blind spot at the CEO and board level.

· Security teams are too technical: Seven out of ten C-suite executives interviewed say security teams talk in technical terms without providing business context. However, 75% of CISOs highlight the issue is rooted in security tools that cannot generate insights that C-level executives and boards of directors can use to understand business risks and prevent threats.

· AI is driving more advanced cyber threats: Addressing this technology and communications gap is becoming more critical as the rise of AI-driven attacks and cyber threats significantly increase business risk.

Against this backdrop, nearly three-quarters (72%) of CISOs say their organization has experienced an application security incident in the past two years. These incidents carry significant risk, with CISOs highlighting the common consequences they’ve experienced, including impacted revenue (47%), regulatory fines (36%), and lost market share (28%).

“Cybersecurity incidents can have devastating consequences for organizations and their customers, so the issue has rightfully become a critical board-level concern,” said Bernd Greifeneder, Chief Technology Officer at Dynatrace. “However, many CISOs are struggling to drive alignment between security teams and senior executives because they’re unable to elevate the conversation from bits and bytes to specific business risks. CISOs urgently need to find a way to overcome this barrier and create a culture of shared responsibility for cybersecurity. This will be critical to improving their ability to respond effectively to security incidents and minimize their risk exposure.”

Additional research findings include:

· The need to drive closer engagement between security teams and the C-suite is becoming more important as the rise of AI exposes organizations to added risk. CISOs are concerned about AI’s potential to enable cybercriminals to create new exploits faster and execute them on a broader scale (52%). They are also concerned about AI’s potential to allow developers to accelerate software delivery with less oversight, leading to more vulnerabilities (45%).

· As they look for a solution, 83% of CISOs say DevSecOps automation is more important to manage the risk of vulnerabilities introduced by AI. Additionally, 71% of CISOs say DevSecOps automation is critical to ensuring reasonable measures have been taken to minimize application security risk.

· A further 77% of CISOs say current tools such as XDR and SIEM solutions cannot manage cloud complexity, as they lack the intelligence needed to drive automation at scale, and an additional 70% of CISOs say the need for multiple application security tools drives operational inefficiency due to the effort needed to make sense of disparate sources of data.

“The growing use of AI is a double-edged sword, creating efficiency gains for both digital innovators and those seeking to breach their defenses,” continued Greifeneder. “On the one hand, there’s a greater risk of developers introducing vulnerabilities through AI-generated code that has not been adequately tested, and on the other, cybercriminals can develop more automated and sophisticated attacks to exploit them. Adding further pain, organizations must also comply with emerging regulations such as the SEC mandate, which requires them to identify and report on the impact of attacks within four days. Organizations urgently need to modernize their security tools and practices to protect their applications and data from modern, advanced cyber threats. The most effective approaches will be built on a unified platform that drives mature DevSecOps automation and harnesses AI to deal with distributed data at any scale. These platforms will provide the insights the entire business can rally behind and use to demonstrate compliance with stringent regulations.”

The complimentary report, The State of application security in 2024: The Imperative of driving closer alignment among the CISO, CEO, and Board, is available for download.

EPOS Launches IMPACT 800 Series: in India at its Experience Center in Delhi

New Delhi – EPOS, the premium global audio brand, unveiled the IMPACT 800 series, the ultimate companion for modern, desk-working professionals at their brand experience center Ramptech Solutions in Delhi. The company has organized an exclusive demo session conducted at EPOS Audio India Pvt Ltd by Mr Sudeep Roy, Sales Director, and hosted by Ramp Tech Solutions distributor for (North+East) India.

The IMPACT 800 series is the latest addition to EPOS’ enterprise audio portfolio, which caters to every office environment. This on-ear, USB, wired headset is designed to improve focus and boost productivity in the open spaces that are now commonplace in the office and when working from home.

From chattering colleagues to barking dogs and noisy devices, open offices and home working spaces can be full of sound clutter. While it often goes unnoticed, brains can undergo significant strain when struggling to process digital audio in noisy environments, leading to fatigue, lost productivity, and a loss of concentration. This is why EPOS developed the IMPACT 800 to support the brain’s natural way of processing sound.

Leveraging EPOS BrainAdapt™, a group of pioneering technologies, the IMPACT 800 addresses the challenges of taking calls in a busy environment. Minimizing the effort spent on listening and understanding, the product mitigates brain fatigue by reducing disruptive sounds. It enables wearers to unlock new levels of productivity, increasing efficiency by 40%1.

Other key features include:

Enhance focus: The IMPACT 800 is built on EPOS BrainAdapt™, a group of pioneering technologies that work together with hybrid adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and industry-leading voice pickup powered by EPOS AI™ to improve cognitive performance. The device cuts down noise and helps the brain focus – even in busy open office environments.

Designed for comfort and ease of use: The IMPACT 800 has a lightweight design, soft breathable cushions, and headband padding that allow for all-day wearing comfort. Additionally, smart features and plug-and-play connectivity via USB-C cable make using the headset intuitive and hassle-free.

Crystal clear sound: Based on more than 8,000 parameters in three beamforming microphones – sophisticated algorithms powered by 2nd Generation EPOS AI™ update noise-canceling filters every 4th millisecond to ensure a clear and natural sound is transmitted.

Impeccable sound quality: Super wideband audio and stereo deliver a clear natural sound while industry-leading voice pickup ensures wearers’ voices aren’t lost, even in noisy open offices. The headset also uses ActiveGard™ technology to prevent loud spikes and support noise-at-work compliance.

Packed full of smart features: Users can initiate, end, and mute calls simply by moving the boom arm or taking the headset on/off. Plus, with a 360-degree busylight, surrounding people can know when you’re on a call and not be disturbed.

“The office environment has evolved to the point that a silent workspace is no longer an option for the majority of employees. Whether based in the office or at home, we can expect distraction from background noise – from colleagues or children conversing to the sounds of printers, servers, or even the dishwasher. This is why EPOS’ innovation is focused on supporting the way human processes sound, to make it easier for workers to concentrate even in busy environments. Plus, as a wired device, the IMPACT 800 series makes the perfect plug-in and go partner for those who don’t want to worry about battery life during call-intensive days,” says Johnny Andersen, VP of Product & Portfolio Management at EPOS.
