See what IT Ops teams really think about the cyber security tools they must help manage every day.

In an industry-first, Thycotic conducted a global survey of attendees at the 2018 VMworld Conference in Las Vegas. The survey asked IT operations professionals about their experiences in actually using cyber security tools on a daily basis.

Here’s some highlights from the survey report:

• 2 out of 3 IT Ops team members say complexity is the biggest obstacle to security tool effectiveness
• Ease of use was listed as the most important attribute of a security tool
• 25% say they don’t get any input into selecting the security tools they must use

Given the growing shortage of skilled cyber security staff, automated tools play an increasingly important role in securing organizations. But these security tools can only be effective if they are adopted and embraced by the people who must use them on a regular basis.
