TLDR:

Executives lack insight into cyber threats, leading to communication gaps with security teams. This disconnect is due to technical language, lack of meaningful insights, and the complexity of cloud environments. DevSecOps automation and AI are seen as critical solutions. Organizations need to modernize their security tools and practices to protect against advanced cyber threats.

Article Summary:

Research by Dynatrace reveals that 87% of CISOs struggle to align security teams and executives, leading to blind spots for cyber threats within organizations. Communication gaps stem from security teams using too technical language and a lack of meaningful insights from security tools. The disconnect poses significant risks as cybersecurity incidents can have severe consequences for organizations.

CISOs are also concerned about AI-fueled cybercrime risks, where AI tools can capture more data but also make attack campaigns easier to scale. AI-generated code introduces vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. Additionally, 83% of CISOs emphasize the importance of DevSecOps automation to address vulnerabilities introduced by AI and optimize application security.

The complexity of cloud environments further complicates security measures, making modernizing security tools and practices imperative for organizations. DevSecOps automation, AI, and unified platforms are key solutions to combat advanced cyber threats and comply with stringent regulations. CISOs are urged to create a culture of shared responsibility for cybersecurity to mitigate risks effectively.
