2129: Why Cybersecurity Professionals Feel Overworked and Lack Confidence

Valued at $4.3bn, you may have seen the Arctic Wolf logo adorning the Oracle Red Bull F1 race car this year or as a sponsor of the Wolves football club. But the business provides security operation services and does more than just help these specific partners with their security issues. Ian McShane, VP of Strategy, has over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. A former Gartner analyst, Ian has advised some of the world's largest and fastest-growing companies. He can talk about all facets of the cybersecurity industry and is not afraid to call out bad practices when he sees them. Ian also discusses new Arctic Wolf research, which has found that UK organisations are being put in a precarious and unsecure position, with over a quarter (27%) of respondents stating they don't feel knowledgeable enough as an individual to spot a cyber threat. The critical nature of these revelations becomes even more apparent when noting the report also discovered that 30% of cybersecurity workers claim they don't know how to use their organisation's security tools effectively.
