Key findings of the study include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Updating and Integrating Architecture<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Investing in a proactive technology refresh&nbsp;strategy&nbsp;is more critical than ever, as on average 39% of security technologies used by organizations globally are considered outdated.&nbsp;In&nbsp;Saudi Arabia,&nbsp;respondents reveal themselves to be below the global average, reporting that 31% of their IT infrastructure is out of date.<\/li><li>Unsurprisingly,&nbsp;organizations with&nbsp;cloud-based architectures are&nbsp;more than&nbsp;twice as likely to refresh than those with more outdated, on-premises technologies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>In&nbsp;Saudi Arabia, 80% of security and privacy professionals stated that they are planning to expand their cloud-based security technology.<\/li><li>70% of respondents from&nbsp;Saudi Arabia report they have a strong Proactive Tech Refresh strategy to stay up-to-date with the best available IT and security technologies.<\/li><li>Organizations with integrated technologies are seven times more likely to achieve high levels of process automation.&nbsp;Additionally, these organizations boast&nbsp;more than 40%&nbsp;stronger threat detection capabilities.&nbsp;<\/li><li>In Saudi Arabia, 45.4%&nbsp;excel at retaining security talent.&nbsp;More than&nbsp;75% of security operations programs globally, that do not have strong staffing resources are still able to achieve robust capabilities through high levels of automation.&nbsp;Automation more than doubles&nbsp;the performance of less experienced staff, supporting organizations through skills and labor shortages.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Detecting and Responding to Threats<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The value of cloud-based security architectures cannot be understated. Organizations that claim to have mature implementations of Zero Trust or Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures are 35% more likely to report strong security operations than those with nascent implementations.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Organizations that leverage threat intelligence achieve&nbsp;faster&nbsp;mean time to repair&nbsp;(MTTR),&nbsp;with rates&nbsp;50% lower than those of non-intel users.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>In Saudi Arabia,&nbsp;54.6% of security and privacy professionals stated that they are able to manage top risks.<\/li><li>49% of security and privacy professionals in the Kingdom stated that they are able to avoid major incidents<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Staying Resilient when Disaster Strikes<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>As the threat landscape continues to evolve, testing business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities regularly and in multiple ways is more critical than ever, with proactive organizations 2.5 times more likely to maintain business resiliency.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe recognize that today\u2019s compliance requirements, skills shortages, a hybrid workforce and a threat-filled landscape are all making security increasingly complex.
