The fourth annual Ponemon report on The Cyber Resilient Organization in 2019, sponsored by IBM Security, focuses on the key trends that make an organization cyber resilient and how cyber resilience has changed since the first report launched in 2015. Hosted by Larry Ponemon of the Ponemon Institute and Maria Battaglia, IBM Security, these two industry experts answer the questions, what has improved in the cyber security space over the past 4 years? What do organizations still struggle with? And which groups are improving and how? This webinar will take you through the barriers of becoming cyber resilient and dive into report topics such as implementing automation, aligning privacy and cyber security, and what it takes to become a cyber resilient “High Performer” in 2019.

33. Caveats
Ponemon Institute Presentation Private and Confidential 33
This study utilizes a confidential and proprietary benchmark method that has been successfully deployed in earlier Ponemon
Institute research. However, there are inherent limitations to benchmark research that need to be carefully considered before
drawing conclusions from findings.
Non-response bias: The current findings are based on a sample of survey returns. We sent surveys to a representative sample of
individuals, resulting in a large number of usable returned responses. Despite non-response tests, it is always possible that
individuals who did not participate are substantially different in terms of underlying beliefs from those who completed the
instrument.
Sampling-frame bias: The accuracy is based on contact information and the degree to which the list is representative of individuals
who are IT or IT security practitioners. We also acknowledge that the results may be biased by external events such as media
coverage. Finally, because we used a Web-based collection method, it is possible that non-Web responses by mailed survey or
telephone call would result in a different pattern of findings.
Self-reported results: The quality of survey research is based on the integrity of confidential responses received from subjects.
While certain checks and balances can be incorporated into the survey process, there is always the possibility that a subject did not
provide accurate responses.
