Your Business Isn't Made for This Threat Landscape
Security programs across Australia and New Zealand aren't failing because of their people or thin budgets. They're failing because they were built for a cyberthreat landscape that doesn't exist anymore.
Commissioned by Huntress, Omdia Consulting asked the hard questions of organisations across ANZ—not to validate what vendors were saying, but to find out where the real friction actually lives.
What the data actually shows:
-
Maturity scores are lying to you. Most ANZ organisations have hit a defined or managed level of cybersecurity maturity. Frameworks are signed off, budgets are allocated. But fewer than one in seven report that security is actually embedded in how they operate.
-
Your awareness training is working for the wrong people. It’s effective for IT and security staff, but falls off a cliff for everyone else. More than half of employees across ANZ organisations don’t have the cybersecurity awareness training they need—not because the curriculum is bad, but because the system was never designed to change human behavior at scale.
-
Compliance got you here, but it won’t get you through what’s next. Nearly every ANZ organisation has adopted a formal cybersecurity framework. Most use it to stay compliant, not to make faster decisions when something actually goes sideways. The shift is already happening toward consolidated platforms, 24/7 monitoring, and partners built for recovery, not just prevention.
This report is boots-on-the-ground truth, pulled from real organisations across Australia and New Zealand and the practitioners who handle live incidents every single day for teams who are done pretending that structure equals resilience.
