Other noteworthy findings from the NetEnrich survey include:

30 percent of respondents use AlienVault to prevent attacks, while 29 percent use ArcSight. Splunk was the third most commonly used tool at 17 percent.
66 percent of organizations use third-party consultants or managed security service providers to develop or implement security plans, and 69 percent of respondents found those services to be "very helpful."
83 percent of IT professionals surveyed by NetEnrich said their organizations use cloud-based infrastructure or applications, and 22 percent said cloud-based systems were more cost-effective than on-premise security solutions.
Desktop and laptop computers were most at risk (59 percent) in a cyber attack, followed by databases and web servers (57 percent), network security devices (53 percent), mobile devices (43 percent) and application servers (42 percent).
72 percent have tools in place to defend against Advanced Persistent Threats.

"All the data shows that cyber security must be a top priority for companies and that half-measures and workarounds will not do," says Raju Chekuri, President and CEO at NetEnrich. "I applaud the 82 percent of companies in our survey that have cyber attack readiness plans in place but what are the other 18 percent waiting for? Our advice to customers and prospects continues to be: Act now, be comprehensive, and be proactive. Partners like NetEnrich can help, but we need buy-in from CIOs and down the line in IT."
