1️⃣ Close the Automation Gap

• Reality: 72% of businesses lack fully automated security workflows (Ponemon).

• Action: Implement AI-driven threat detection and response to reduce breach lifecycles by 74 days (IBM).

• Quick Win: Deploy automated attack surface management (ASM) to flag vulnerabilities before attackers do.

2️⃣ Strengthen Segmentation, Minimise Risk

• Reality: 53% of enterprises lack mature segmentation (SANS).

• Action: Adopt a zero-trust network—isolate critical systems and limit lateral movement. Focus on your data centre, private/public cloud and applications.

• Quick Win: Apply role-based access controls (RBAC) to restrict high-risk users from sensitive environments. Works in and out of the office.

3️⃣ Fix Budget Fragmentation—Invest in Outcomes

• Reality: 60% of security budgets are misallocated on reactive fixes rather than proactive defences (Gartner).

• Action: Focus spending on integration-ready automation tools that drive measurable risk reduction.

• Quick Win: Consolidate security tools—reducing vendor sprawl saves 30%+ on operational costs (McKinsey).
