How insight-driven security builds business resiliency

The acceleration of digitization initiatives was paramount to make sure business continuity during this global crisis. As we rebuild economic stability in 2021, technology – especially automation and security – will play a big role in positioning enterprises to return to growth.

Security may be a continual game of chess: 2020 was a record-breaking year for brand spanking new vulnerabilities. The rapid expansion to the cloud and an explosion of IoT devices, along side a severe shortage of security personnel, left enterprises struggling to deal effectively and proactively with new security risks.

Today, security leaders are still challenged with the way to mitigate risk through a lens of context and evaluation supported the potential exposure of the very best risk vulnerabilities. For example: Once a vulnerability is discovered, the typical time to repair is 4.4 weeks. consistent with AT&T, 63% of leading organizations ignore quite 25% of security events and alerts. instead of the normal one-size-fits-all scanning and patching approach, defenders need contextual awareness and insights into where the riskiest vulnerabilities survive their networks. Next, proactive actions should be prioritized to shut those specific vulnerabilities. Then, smart automation can leverage these contextual insights to assist remediate vulnerabilities better, faster and with less drain on human capital.

Automation of alert triage and analysis

Keeping pace with the remote workforce and digital acceleration as an entire requires more agility than ever before. While many invest millions in security controls to dam , detect, prevent or answer attacks, vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across hybrid environments are being exploited routinely, leaving organizations exposed to material cybersecurity and compliance risks. the expansion of tech stacks, required security policies and manual change management have inadvertently introduced more new risks than ever before. Enterprise complexity drives the necessity for security automation to spot patterns, manage security posture and improve compliance. With prescriptive analytics and automation, security can enjoy action-oriented data about existing or emerging threats. This context can inform educated decisions to extend threat remediation speed and accuracy. With smart automation, data breaches caused by human error also can be proactively reduced.
