Only one in five businesses has a dedicated cybersecurity team in place, with 40% choosing to outsource at least some of these capabilities to external providers (source: STX Next Global CTO Survey).
Company size is a big factor in the approach taken: 80% of organisations with 1,000+ employees have a dedicated team, compared to 50% of organisations with 300-1,000 people. The pattern is reversed for outsourcing, with 75% of organisations with 300-1,000 employees making use of security outsourcers, compared to 60% of firms with 1,000+ employees. Organisations with 30 employees or fewer are least likely to have an internal security team or to outsource.
