Statistics from the US Midwest collected by Carnegie Mellon University show that:

More than 70% of organizations identify critical services; however, less than 50% of organizations assessed have identified the assets that support critical services. More than 55% of organizations have not developed a strategy to guide their vulnerability management efforts. 65% of organizations lack a process to escalate and resolve incidents.
