According to new research released by Opengear, a Digi
International company (NASDAQ, DGII, www.digi.com) and
provider of secure and Smart Out of Band management solutions, a
staggering 97% of U.S.-based CIOs surveyed expressed serious
concerns about at least one cybersecurity threat. This
comprehensive survey encompassed responses from 502 CIOs and 510
network engineers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and
Australia. The primary cybersecurity concerns highlighted in the
research included malware (42%), spam and phishing (34%), social
engineering (31%), and insider threats (30%). Remarkably, malware

While only 23% of U.S. CIOs reported distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks as a threat, 38% of network
engineers reported a higher level of concern for this specific type
of attack, most likely due to their close proximity to the network.
To add to these concerns, U.S. engineers said that insufficient
investments are enhancing the risk of cyberattacks and/or downtime
(59%). This suggests that lack of budget spent on software upgrades
and network upgrades, for example, leaves organizations more
vulnerable to attack and has the potential to affect business
continuity, which is a high priority for 97% of CIOs in the U.S.
and 88% of CIOs globally.
“The skills shortage and insufficient investment in networks are
two factors that have combined to encourage cybercriminals to
breach businesses,” said Gary Marks, President at Opengear. “Smart
Out of Band solutions enable organizations to manage their networks
at all times from local and remote sites, even during an outage.
Network engineers can make smarter, real-time decisions to achieve
consistent network resilience and unparalleled visibility, with
security and encryption features ensuring that management policies
remain continually enforced.”
Continued technology investment is essential to enable engineers
to safeguard networks during cyberattacks. The latest research
further highlights a concerning trend, indicating that 27% of U.S.
network engineers are actively contemplating leaving their current
roles due to inadequate funding — an alarming contrast to the
global average of 21%.
