ReliaQuest 2021 Security Leader Survey: Top Findings

ReliaQuest and Ponemon Research surveyed over 1,000 security leaders in the US and UK to report on security priorities and challenges, finding heavy investment in security budgets, a shift toward risk-based security, and major obstacles including lack of visibility, ineffective metrics, and strained security teams; cloud migration is a top priority but confidence in cloud security is low, driving increased reliance on third-party services and automation.
