New Ponemon Report: Too Many Organizations Don’t Have a Plan to Respond to Incidents

When a cyberattack occurs, most organizations are unprepared and do not have a consistent incident response plan. That’s the major takeaway from IBM's third annual “Cyber Resilient Organization” study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute.
