Cyber defense upskilling company RangeForce has announced the release of the Defense Readiness Index (DRI) to enable companies to measure and improve their cybersecurity capabilities. Integrated into RangeForce’s Threat Centric platform and mapped to both the MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks, the DRI scores an organization’s readiness to respond to cyberattacks, the firm said in a press release. It also provides cybersecurity upskilling rooted in United States Department of Defense and NATO training to help teams to prepare for threats, it added.
Strong and effective cyber readiness can be challenging for many organizations. The latest Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index, which ranks companies in four stages of cybersecurity readiness (beginner, formative, progressive, and mature), found that more than half of organizations fall into either the beginner or formative category, with only 15% in the mature stage. Identity management is recognized as the most critical area of concern with 58% of organizations either in the formative or beginner category, while 56% of organizations were at the lower end of the readiness spectrum for network protection.
