An online survey of 303 cybersecurity professionals from around the globe was conducted by IISC (ISC)’ Respondents compared their perception of the severity of the SolarWinds Orion software breach between when it was first reported and several weeks later as more information was revealed. 86% of respondents said they would have rated the breach ‘very’ or ‘extremely severe’ when they first learned about it. However, roughly six weeks after the incident was reported, the number of respondents who indicated that the breach was ‘severe’ increased from 51% to 55%.
