When questioned on which aspect of cybersecurity they’d like to see more investment, mental health topped the list with almost 45% of respondents identifying this as a priority. **Nicole Mills, Exhibition Director at** [**Infosecurity Group**](https://www.infosecurityeurope.com/en/about/Infosecurity-Group/), says: “Cybersecurity is an ‘always on’ industry that demands time, patience and resilience from all those involved. Whether it’s trawling through false positives, analysing threat intel, or managing the response and repercussions of a data breach, the nature of the role, and being accountable for the security and safety of an organisation can be overwhelming. It’s amazing to see this recognition and to see that [investments are being made into the wellbeing of these security](https://www.financedigest.com/2018-it-security-predictions-methods-for-attacks-investment-areas-cybersecurity-strategies.html "2018 IT Security Predictions-Methods For Attacks, Investment Areas & Cybersecurity Strategies") professionals.” Collaboration and threat intel sharing were also voted for by 38%, highlighting the need for the cybersecurity [industry to work together to build an environment of trust and transparency in order to exchange](https://www.financedigest.com/gumgum-announces-industrys-first-100-brand-safe-ad-exchange.html "GumGum Announces Industry’s First 100% Brand Safe Ad Exchange") knowledge, resources and ideas. “Threat intel [sharing within industries](https://www.financedigest.com/oryzanol-market-share-size-analysis-growth-industry-statistics-and-forecast-2028.html "Oryzanol Market Share, Size, Analysis, Growth, Industry Statistics and Forecast 2028") is ripe for investment. When we look at how the construction industry has come together through their CISO Forum and collaboration with the NCSC and BEIS, to share threat intel, [information about incidents, and what tools and strategies they are deploying, they recognise a common enemy against their industry, despite the fact they are in direct competition,” commented Ian Hill, Director of Cyber and Information Security](https://www.financedigest.com/privacy-vs-security-is-the-cybersecurity-information-sharing-act-beneficial.html "PRIVACY VS SECURITY: IS THE CYBERSECURITY INFORMATION SHARING ACT BENEFICIAL?") **, UPP Corporation**. Furthermore, over 40% of respondents believe that the current [economic climate will see budget cuts increase the risk level](https://www.financedigest.com/using-agility-to-resist-economic-instability-and-level-the-playing-field.html "Using agility to resist economic instability and level the playing field") to their organisation. More then 20% see the potential for external threats to further increase risk, and insider threats were ranked by 13% as becoming a bigger [risk as businesses](https://www.financedigest.com/aon-assists-freddie-mac-to-reach-5bn-risk-transfer-milestone-for-u-s-mortgage-credit-business.html "AON ASSISTS FREDDIE MAC TO REACH BN RISK TRANSFER MILESTONE FOR U.S. MORTGAGE CREDIT BUSINESS") contend with economic shifts. Positively, 21% expect to [see no change to the risk level](https://www.financedigest.com/fraport-sees-2023-passenger-traffic-at-80-90-of-pre-pandemic-levels.html "Fraport sees 2023 passenger traffic at 80-90% of pre-pandemic levels") to their organisation, suggesting that the current crisis will have little bearing on their organisations’ cybersecurity budget. However, the financial industry is [predicted to be at an increased risk of a cyber-attack as cybersecurity](https://www.financedigest.com/cybersecurity-predictions-to-watch-in-2023-and-beyond.html "Cybersecurity Predictions to Watch in 2023 and Beyond") budgets take a hit according to 60% of respondents. Healthcare [followed with near 30% expecting threats to increase](https://www.financedigest.com/multilocal-continues-hiring-spree-following-increasing-demand-for-its-services.html "multilocal continues hiring spree following increasing demand for its services") as budgets suffer. This is hardly surprising given the value of the information they hold.
