Enterprise organizations have a lot to deal with these days on the cybersecurity front.
The adoption of cloud and mobile technologies has significantly expanded the attack surface, even as the threat landscape itself has kept evolving constantly. IT organizations are under tremendous pressure to respond to business requirements while ensuring the security of corporate data. And regulations such as California’s Consumer Privacy Act, scheduled to go into effect next January, and the already-in-force GDPR in Europe have considerably raised the stakes for companies that experience data breaches.
Situational awareness has become key to security for most organizations. Managing cyber risk is no longer just about applying the right controls for detecting, preventing, and mitigating internal threats. To get the full picture, security teams also need to stay on top of the latest developments in the threat landscape, understand their own exposure to those threats, know who is behind them, and learn how it is impacting their peers.
