Organizations tend to end up in cybersecurity news because they failed to detect and/or contain a breach. Breaches are inevitable, but whether or not an organization ends up in the news depends on how quickly and effectively it can detect and respond to a cyber incident.
Beyond the fines, penalties and reputational damage associated with a breach, organizations should keep in mind that today’s adversaries represent a real, advanced and persistent threat. Once threat actors gain a foothold in your infrastructure or network, they will almost certainly try to maintain it.
To successfully protect their organizations, security teams need the full context of what is happening on their network. This means data from certain types of sources should be centrally collected and analyzed, with the goal of being able to extract and deliver actionable information.
