In 2021, the most important reason why companies did not improve their cyber resiliency was due to their inability to reduce silo and turf issues. A silo issue refers to the situation where different teams or team members within the same company, do not share valuable information with other members of the company on purpose.
Fragmented IT and security infrastructure were also important reasons that prevented cyber resiliency improvement for companies worldwide.
