IT security teams are often expected to monitor multiple portals and alert systems. This approach is cumbersome and fails to provide singular visibility and control of the IT environment from a security perspective. Learn about important trends in IT security — and a groundbreaking solution that lets you secure in wholly new ways.
Surveying the landscape
As the enterprise technology landscape grows more complex, security threats — and costs — continue to rise.
- 51% report being impacted by a cybersecurity breach in the last year.
- Low visibility into the threat landscape is the No. 1 business-related cybersecurity concern.
- The global average cost of a data breach is $4.45 million.
- Worldwide spending on security solutions and services is forecast to increase 12.1% in 2023.
- 97% worry they’ll miss a relevant security event due to an overwhelming number of alerts.
- 70% of SOC analysts say the number of security tools in use has significantly increased in the last three years.
The pressure is on.
IT security leaders face a number of challenges securing the data center, the corporate office, email systems and everywhere in between.
- IT environments are complex with innumerable vectors of attacks.
- The growth of endpoints and data volumes demands scalable security.
- “Cloud-first” initiatives are driving a need to address Security Operations Center (SOC) tools.
- Point solutions offer limited scope and create integration challenges for managers (i.e., “tool fatigue”).
- Finding and retaining key security talent is increasingly difficult.
- Significant investments are required for effective and innovative in-house security operations.
What about SIEM?
Amid a complicated landscape, an intelligent SIEM solution can offer a unified platform for security teams to gain visibility, analytics and control.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
