EDITOR’S QUESTION
For some organisations, building a brand-
new security operations model won’t work
– many lack the skills and resources to start
from scratch.
What should they do instead? We believe they
should work with security vendor partners that
deliver behavioural analytics capabilities that
leverage Machine Learning, automate manual
processes and natively integrate security
capabilities into a single security platform. In
this way, organisations can improve detection
and response times while lessening the
burden on overworked security departments.
Cyber-readiness, through best practices
and innovative technology that solves
real problems, together with open lines
of communication across technical and
business teams, is the key to effective
prevention, detection and response.
If you recall the quote from Harvard Business
Review, even those that spend hundreds
of millions of dollars on state-of-the-art
technology aren’t necessarily best placed
to defend their businesses from the ever-
growing community of cyberadversaries.
As aforementioned, in order to ease this
process, CISOs should form partnerships with
leading security vendors that are committed
to technology integration, advanced
analytics capabilities and process automation
on their own. The only efficient way to keep
up with and guard against cybersecurity
threats is to employ automation.
In today’s digital age, cookie-cutter
simulations and tabletop exercises will not
deliver the value necessary for effective
cyber-readiness. There’s no substitute for
real-world experience.
