We’re living in a time of unprecedented innovation. Technology
is refactoring entire industries, globalizing our businesses and
multiplying the efficiency of our workforce. But we’ve only scratched
the surface. As innovation continues to surge, there’s no telling
what we’ll be able to achieve, and the consequences we could
subsequently face.
As the number of connected devices swiftly approaches 80 billion,
and as automation is ingrained in our everyday routines, changes in
our world will only accelerate and the attack surface will inevitably
grow. Security departments are forced to grapple with data coming
from multiple sources, in different formats and at faster speeds,
making it clear that many organizations aren’t prepared for the data
challenges of today and tomorrow.
Your organization needs visibility to know what’s there, and context
to better understand what’s really at risk. Having more data around
the systems and people using them can ultimately give us a better
understanding of how to manage risk.
That’s why organizations are spending billions of dollars and
countless hours to try and tap into the value of their data, plugging
security vulnerabilities exposed by a holistic view across their
infrastructure. They’re creating data lakes integrating and working across
countless systems that create massive data volumes, while also navigating
the complex web of tools designed to aggregate, monitor and analyze this
data to address their greatest security challenges.
Data to Drive Decisions
It’s vital to bring data to every question our organizations ask, every decision
we make and every action we take. But in an evolving and increasingly
connected world that produces ever more data, the challenge is not only
how to keep up with it all, but how to turn it into insight and action. Data
comes in different forms, from varying sources, which many organizations
have yet to tap to better secure themselves.
Optimizing your security stack so that your team can function at peak
performance requires a single platform that frees up teams to take action; from investigation and monitoring to orchestration and remediation. It
must be a robust platform that enables the entire organization to leverage
the power of data through a singular, holistic lens. This approach means
fewer, smarter technology investments, less complexity and fewer barriers
between data and action.
Building a Modern SOC
Security teams are hard at work on the front lines: identifying,
analyzing and mitigating threats facing their organization. But despite
their best efforts, incident backlogs continue to grow larger every day.
The reality is that there simply aren’t enough skilled professionals
to analyze the volume of incidents that most organizations face.
But a modern SOC, powered by and built on a data-to-everything
platform, has visibility across the entire enterprise, creating a common
work surface for every team member. A single suite that seamlessly
integrates solutions from other vendors to augment existing
capabilities means an analyst’s time will be spent on higher value
activities, removing the need to pivot between dozens of products and
creating a common work surface for every team member.
