3 ways you can help your SDRs right now: 1. Give them time back on their calendar ⏰ Less time in unnecessary meetings, the more time they can give to their role. Tell them they can leave a meeting early if it’s not relevant to them! 2. Show them how to time block. Give them an example time block schedule so they can better manage their time 🗓️ 9-10am calls 10-11am emails Etc. 3. Take the load of admin work off their plate 📋 There’s always going to be manual processes and admin work involved. However, the faster you can help them source a contact or lead list, the faster they can reach out What else can you take off their plate? 🍽️ #SDR

Proofpoint’s 2024 Voice of the CISO Report Reveals that More than Four in 5 Canadian CISOs Identify Human Error as Leading Cybersecurity Risk Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company released its annual Voice of the CISO report, which explores key challenges, expectations and priorities of chief information security officers (CISOs) worldwide. The 2024 report draws attention to a notable trend: while fears of cyber attacks continue to rise, Canadian CISOs demonstrate increasing confidence in their ability to defend against these threats, reflecting a significant shift in the cybersecurity landscape. Over two-thirds (90%) of surveyed CISOs in Canada feel at risk of a material cyber attack over the next 12 months, compared to 58% the year before. CISOs today clearly remain on high alert, but confidence among them is growing: only 33% feel unprepared to cope with a targeted cyber attack, showing a marked decrease over last year’s 60% and 63% in 2022. Human error continues to be perceived as the Achilles' heel of cybersecurity, with almost three-quarters (83%) of CISOs in Canada identifying it as the most significant vulnerability. In a year of growing insider threats and people-driven data loss, more CISOs than ever (90%) see human risk, in particular negligent employees as a key cybersecurity concern over the next two years. However, there's growing optimism in the role of AI-powered solutions to mitigate human-centric risks, reflecting a strategic pivot towards technology-driven defenses. The 2024 Voice of the CISO report examines global third-party survey responses from 1,600 CISOs from organizations of 1,000 employees or more across different industries. Throughout the course of Q1 2024, 100 CISOs were interviewed in each market across 16 countries: the U.S., Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, UAE, KSA, Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Brazil. The report offers a vital perspective on the state of cybersecurity from those at the forefront of protecting people and defending data. The report also stresses the importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures in the face of economic pressures and the critical role of human factors in organizational cyber readiness. The survey also measures the changes in alignment between security leaders and their boards of directors, exploring how their relationship impacts security priorities.
