After a Cyber Security breach, it’s common for the blame to automatically fall on IT. Of course, there are many steps that need to be taken to help prevent Cyber Attacks, but nothing is ever guaranteed. So why is everyone so quick to blame IT?
- Visible Role in Technology Infrastructure: IT is responsible for managing and maintaining an organization’s IT infrastructure, so of course when things go wrong it’s easiest for the blame to fall on them no matter how complex the breach is.
- Lack of Understanding: Many executives and employees have a limited understanding of the importance of Cyber Security and how threats are very sophisticated and constantly evolving. When a breach happens, it is usually seen as a failure by IT.
- High Expectations of IT Security: IT is expected to provide security measures to safeguard sensitive data. However, unrealistic expectations can lead to blame when a breach does occur.
While IT is a critical line of defense against cyber threats, it’s essential to recognize that Cyber Security is a shared responsibility. Blaming IT alone for breaches oversimplifies the complexity of Cyber Security challenges.
