Cybersecurity attention fades within months after a breach
ManageEngine survey of 700 breached organizations finds security attention fades within one to six months, while 91% still trust their posture.
A ManageEngine survey of 700 IT and security leaders in the US and Canada, all of whom had experienced a breach, found that 91% trust their current security posture and only 8% make security a permanent priority after an incident. 80% said post-breach focus lasts just one to six months, and nearly half made no wider changes after their incident. About two in three organizations using AI in security said they act on AI recommendations without additional verification. The report also flagged unclear ownership across security, IT, and business teams as a cause of delayed remediation.
- 91% of breached organizations trust current posture; only 8% sustain security as a priority.
- 80% report post-incident attention fades within one to six months.
- Two-thirds act on AI security recommendations without additional verification.
- Unclear ownership across security, IT, and business teams delays remediation.
