Logicalis has published its Closing the Security Maturity Gap report, which indicates that 64 percent of organizations lack mature 24/7 security operations. The study surveyed 357 IT and security professionals across EMEA and the Asia Pacific region.
Why it matters
As artificial intelligence accelerates the speed of cyberattacks, organizations struggle to bridge the gap between managing routine security and defending against emerging threats. The report suggests that external expertise is increasingly critical for maintaining continuous coverage.
The report benchmarks maturity across ownership, 24/7 response, visibility, and detection capabilities. Data shows 63 percent of organizations remain underprepared for ransomware, while 87 percent support the use of managed SOC and MXDR services.

Timeline

The Tech Race
The findings mirror a broader industry shift where legacy manual security processes are being overwhelmed by the rapid advancement of automated cyber threats. This positions managed security services as the primary technological upgrade necessary to replace fragmented, internal-only defensive models.
Business leaders and IT professionals should evaluate their current reliance on manual processes versus automated security tools to determine if their organization is truly ransomware-ready. Adopting managed services may provide the necessary specialized skills to protect organizational data from rapidly evolving threats.
The takeaway
Achieving maturity in cybersecurity requires a shift from reactive, routine management to proactive, automated 24/7 operations. Organizations should prioritize integrating external security expertise to handle the complexities brought on by modern AI-driven attacks.
