Even the most experienced security leaders admit they’re not fully ready for every threat lurking in today’s digital landscape. A recent report reveals where they feel most vulnerable – and it’s a chilling reminder of how quickly cyber risks evolve.

• 46% feel unprepared for a ransomware attack on their own organization
• 39% cite phishing and social engineering as top concerns
• 36% worry about ransomware targeting third parties in their supply chain
• 31% admit they’re not ready for deepfake attacks

These findings highlight a critical reality: cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and interconnected. Even one weak link — whether it’s a partner, an employee, or a piece of manipulated media – can compromise an entire organization.

To stay ahead, companies must focus on cyber resilience: continuous awareness training, incident response planning, supply chain risk management, and investment in technologies that detect and mitigate emerging threats like deepfakes.

Cybersecurity isn’t about eliminating risk – it’s about preparing for the unexpected.
