(ISC)2 Survey Finds Cybersecurity Professionals Have Increasing Level of Concern About SolarWinds IncidentCLEARWATER, Fla., March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISC)2 has published the results of a February 2021 online survey of 303 cybersecurity professionals from around the globe in which respondents compared the severity of the SolarWinds Orion software breach between when it was first reported and several weeks later as more information was revealed. Respondents also relayed how the breach has impacted their jobs, recommended changes to organizational security practices and provided lessons learned. The findings of the survey can be found in a blog post published today: https://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/2021/03/survey-cybersecurity-community-increasingly-concerned-about-solarwinds-breach.html The survey seeks to shed light on the complexities of supply chain security by gathering insights directly from cybersecurity practitioners who most often are responsible for mitigating the risk of third party security stacks in their organizations. The results show an uptick in the level of concern these repondents had as more details emerged about the extent of the compromise throughout the month of February, evidenced by the fact that the number of "Extremely Severe" ratings for the breach increased over time within the survey. (ISC)2 will also host a 60-minute webinar tomorrow titled "SolarWinds Fallout Has Execs Asking: How Secure is Our Supply Chain?", where a panel of security practitioners will discuss the (ISC)2 survey data, share their own insights into supply chain security risk management strategies, and answer questions from attendees to apply lessons learned.
