Security Challenges Addressed with MDR

As organizations have increased their adoption and reliance on detection and response technologies, new cybersecurity challenges have emerged that many organizations struggle to manage. Among the top cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today are:

Visibility
Visibility

Visibility (or lack thereof) is the most common challenge faced by mid-size organizations. You can’t protect what you can’t see, and threat actors are banking on that. Whether you’re operating in an on-prem, cloud, or hybrid environment, maintaining a comprehensive view of your environment – from endpoints to network to cloud workloads and SaaS apps – is essential. With the average time to identify and contain a threat at 277 days (averaging 326 days when ransomware is involved)1, it’s imperative organizations prioritize unified visibility to mitigate threats and reduce dwell time.

Increasing Ransomware Risk
Ransomware

Ransomware remains one of the top cybersecurity threats for many organizations, as threat actors continuously evolve their capabilities and devise more sophisticated ways to penetrate host systems and networks. A focus on a strong security posture can help organizations protect against the likelihood of a ransomware attack sequence being successful.

Breach Concerns
Addressing Pre- and Post-Breach Concerns

While prevention tools are effective in reducing the likelihood of an attack, they are not enough to address increasingly more sophisticated security threats. An effective solution should address the entire kill chain and focus on delivering a meaningful security outcome meant to ease both pre-breach and post-breach concerns.
Learn more

Compliance

The landscape of security laws and standards is constantly changing, making policy mapping extremely difficult if you don’t have internal staff with the right expertise or time available to ensure your compliance. And depending on your industry, it’s not just one regulation, or two, but a host of regulations to ensure protection for organizations, individuals, and industry groups from breaches and data loss.
Learn more

Personnel Shortage
24/7 Security Expertise

Security threats don’t happen just during standard business hours and it’s not unusual for organizations to lack the resources to support 24/7 full-time staff to manage and monitor their security tools. It’s even more challenging to find talent, as an estimated 43% of organizations are unable to find enough qualified staff2 to address their resources gaps. The growing need for experienced and skilled cybersecurity teams has created high demand for trained professionals the labor market has been unable to meet.

Security Expertise
Securing the Cloud

Whether your business operates in a cloud or hybrid environment, securing and protecting cloud workloads can be challenging if you lack the proper tools, people, and processes. Cloud misconfigurations, poor visibility, and lack of expertise could put your organization at risk as undetected risks are causing real damage to your environment. Maintaining a holistic view of the entire attack surface across hybrid and cloud environments can reduce risk of compromise.
