Maximizing Cybersecurity Impact Within Budget Constraints

Despite cybersecurity being critical, organizational budgets often underinvest in it, according to Mimecast’s 2024 State of Email and Collaboration Security report. With only 9% of IT budgets allocated to cybersecurity, IT professionals report a speed and efficiency deficit in responding to threats. Mimecast suggests building a layered cybersecurity defence strategy to enhance protection while managing costs, prioritising robustness, detection capabilities, resilience, scalability and aligning strategy with organizational goals. The prioritisation and integration of cybersecurity solutions are key in an ever-evolving digital threat landscape.
