2025 In the News
Featured News: Kiteworks’ survey of 461 organizations reveals critical governance gaps threatening CMMC 2.0 readiness. Only 56% have full encryption and just over 50% have centralized governance. Key findings: 46% lack third-party visibility, 65% rely on manual processes, and while 64% track AI-generated content, only 17% have governance frameworks. Defense contractors must close these gaps to meet CMMC requirements and protect controlled unclassified information.
Featured News: Kiteworks’ 2025 survey reveals cascading security failures: 42% who can’t track partners miss breaches. The 1,001-5,000 partner “danger zone” faces worst outcomes. With 15% at critical risk and detection delays costing millions, organizations must abandon incremental change for transformation.
Featured News: The 2025 Kiteworks MFT Survey Report finds that 59% of organizations experienced security incidents in the past year, with critical gaps including only 42% encrypting data at rest (versus 76% in transit) and 63% lacking SIEM/SOC integration for their managed file transfers. Organizations with mature data governance practices demonstrate significantly lower incident rates, highlighting that MFT security success depends on closing foundational gaps rather than adding advanced features to vulnerable systems.
Featured News: Kiteworks surveyed 461 cybersecurity professionals, revealing only 17% of organizations have automated AI security controls while 26% report over 30% of private data exposure in public AI tools. The findings expose a dangerous gap between AI adoption and security implementation, with 86% lacking visibility into AI data flows.
Featured News: New Kiteworks-Coalfire research reveals only 46% of Defense Industrial Base contractors are ready for CMMC 2.0 certification. Most lack completed gap analyses (57%), continuous monitoring (56%), and proper access controls (47%). Technical challenges (44%) and budget constraints (43%) are primary obstacles, with 80% seeking external compliance expertise as deadlines approach.
The Song of the Summer debate is still raging…so we’re throwing our hat in the ring. Introducing: “MFT Confessions” the debut track from #CyberBeats, our brand new musical format for the cyber crowd. Created entirely with #AI. 🤖
