Everest Group Research: C-Suite Must Recognize Critical Difference Between Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience

According to Everest Group, an enterprise shift from mere awareness of cyber threats to actively working toward resilience has the potential to redefine the future of cybersecurity services.

 

DALLAS, August 29, 2023 — Everest Group is calling on enterprises to make the critical shift in focus from cybersecurity to cyber resilience. While cybersecurity focuses on safeguarding against threats, cyber resilience emphasizes the ability to withstand, respond and recover quickly from them.

Everest Group issues this call to action in its recently published “State of the Market Report” on cybersecurity services. The report focuses on differentiating cybersecurity from cyber resilience, emphasizing that these two concepts are often mistakenly considered synonymous in the business world.

“Cybersecurity is just one component of cyber resilience, but, unfortunately, many enterprises fail to understand the subtle difference,” said Kumar Avijit, practice director of Information Technology Services at Everest Group. “While a majority of C-suite executives concentrate on preventive controls and response, equal importance needs to be allocated to the recovery, revamp, and reinforcement stages of cyber resilience. For any business, having a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy is critical in safeguarding long-term viability and success.”

 

Everest Group rates current C-suite focus on the “5 Rs of cyber resilience” as follows:

  • Ready – High: C-suite is extensively focusing on pre-emptive measures to secure themselves from cyberattacks and are investing in cutting-edge technologies.
  • Respond – High: There is rapid adoption of extended detection and response (XDR) tools in the market, and service providers too are now focusing on automated incident response to cut down on the standard metric of Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
  • Recover – Medium: There is very little focus on the recovery aspect from the C-suite, underpinned by the challenges of data fragmentation, infected backups, and meeting Recovery Time Objective (RTO) that are visible across the C-suite.
  • Reinforce – Low: C-suite is not focused on learning from cyberattacks on peer organizations and building defenses accordingly. In most case, the C-suite lacks a comprehensive vision of security and instead remains reactive.
  • Revamp – Low: C-suite is not acting agile enough to focus on the next-generation technology and thinking a step beyond on how to secure itself from the new attack vectors that the new shine tech brings.

 

These findings and more are detailed in Everest Group’s recently published report, “Cybersecurity Services State of the Market Report 2023: Cyber Secure to Cyber Resilient.”  ***Download a complimentary abstract here. ***

The report provides an in-depth analysis of the global cybersecurity market, with special sections on North America and Europe. In addition, the report introduces a unique and easily understandable framework to assist enterprises, particularly the C-suite, in swiftly incorporating cyber resilience into their operations. Additionally, the report explores the implications for providers in key areas such as solutions, services, partnerships, talent, and engagement models, illustrating how they can enable enterprises to adopt cyber resilience.

Selected Highlights:

  • Projections suggest the cybersecurity services market, currently valued at $US 70-73 billion, will surpass the $100 billion mark in 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 16-18% between 2021 and 2025.
  • Identity and access management (IAM), cloud security, and application security form the largest segments of the cybersecurity market, collectively representing 56% of the overall market.
  • Cybersecurity consulting services are experiencing rapid growth, with a current market share of 25%. This is closely followed by design and implementation at 29% and managed security services leading at 46%.
  • North America remains the largest market (40%) followed by Europe (33%) and Asia (21%).
  • 63% of enterprise have mentioned lack of skills/talent as among their top three biggest challenges when it comes to cybersecurity.

About the PEAK Matrix™

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® is a proprietary framework for assessing the relative market success and overall capability of service providers based on Performance, Experiences, Ability and Knowledge. Each service provider is comparatively assessed on two dimensions: market success and delivery capabilities. Market success is measured by revenue, number of clients and year-over-year growth. Delivery capability is measured by scale of operations, scope, technology and innovation, delivery footprint and buyer satisfaction. The resulting matrix categorizes service providers as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants. Companies that demonstrate strong upward movement in successive reports are recognized as Star Performers.

Everest Group Declares “The Age of Decentralized Clinical Trials Has Begun”

Everest Group also joins DTRA, offering members accessibility to pioneering research on clinical technology

 

DALLAS, March 29, 2023 —Everest Group today released its latest research report on Decentralized Clinical Trials, which documents a 38% increase from 2021 to 2022 in the number of trials conducted with a decentralized and/or virtual component. Everest Group predicts that the adoption of DCTs by pharmaceutical companies will rapidly accelerate as early adopters praise the approach for putting patient experience at the forefront.

DCTs enable patients to participate in a clinical trial from the comfort of their homes through the use of technology (such as sensors or remote monitoring devices) and home-visit services. In an Everest Group survey of buyers of DCTs, interviewees reported that 20-25% of their trial portfolios were decentralized or hybrid in nature today, but that 80-90% of their trial portfolios will be decentralized/hybrid by 2027. When asked to name the biggest benefit of DCTs, two out of three of those buyers interviewed (67%) cited “improved patient enrollment and retention rates.” Other benefits named include reduced cost (20%), reduced trial timelines (13%), more diverse patient populations (13%), getting real time data (7%), and enabling complex scoring and analysis (7%).

These findings and more are detailed in the Decentralized Clinical Trials Adoption Playbook. This playbook looks at more than 50 DCT case studies across different therapy areas and informs enterprises about the trends, benefits and challenges in DCT adoption to help them design a strategy for seamless DCT adoption. (A complimentary abstract of this report is available for download.)

Everest Group also released today its 2023 Life Sciences Decentralized Clinical Trial Platforms State of the Market Report, which analyzes the current state of the DCT market. The report explores adoption and market trends; the DCT platform providers’ landscape; the enterprise view of DCT platform providers; Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives; and emerging technology opportunities in the industry. (A complimentary abstract of this report is available for download.)

Pandemic Spotlight on DCTs Revealed Major Benefits to the Approach

Traditional clinical trials are an expensive affair, costing upwards of US$2.6 billion and up to 12 years in research effort before approval by a regulatory body. Additional burdens of the traditional approach are patient recruitment challenges, patient adherence and engagement challenges, and regulatory challenges.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, clinical trial activity came to a halt because patients could no longer travel to hospital networks to participate in a clinical trial. Fortunately, DCTs breathed new life into these paused clinical trials and delivered a host of benefits beyond those offered by the traditional clinical research approach. As a result, enterprises have accelerated their plans toward DCT adoption, looking to convert their piecemeal deployments into a comprehensive strategy aimed at enhancing the trial experience for patients, sponsors and Contract Research Organizations. Additionally, recent technological advances, the proliferation of wearables, and the regulatory pressure on the industry to adopt DCTs following the pandemic have made the DCT landscape ripe for disruption.

Everest Group Partners with DTRA

Everest Group also announced today that it has joined the Decentralized Trials Research Alliance (DTRA) to support the organization’s mission of advancing policies, research practices and new technologies to make clinical trial participation widely accessible.

“Today, pharmaceutical companies are optimistic about and investing in DCT trials, and Everest Group sees great potential in the market; however, because the technology and adoption is nascent, additional stakeholder education, product innovation and partnerships are needed,” said Nitish Mittal, partner at Everest Group. “DTRA is one of the few bodies which is driving standardization in the process and stakeholder education in this space. We’re pleased to support the DTRA mission and to contribute by giving DTRA members access to Everest Group’s curated clinical development technology research.”

A frontrunner in the research of clinical technology, Everest Group has a deep research portfolio focused on the demand and supply side of DCTs. By partnering with DTRA, Everest Group aims to disseminate information about the DCT market (such as DCT product suppliers and their capabilities, enterprise DCT adoption trends and sourcing considerations, DCT state of the market, etc.) to various stakeholders responsible for adoption and continued success of DCTs.
