As cybersecurity continues to become more complex and harder to manage, the role of security operations for organizations is also shifting across the board. Long gone are the days where firewalls or intrusion detection systems (IDS) could keep adversaries outside the perimeter. Instead, we are seeing increases in both size and frequency of attacks leading to more pronounced impacts to the business.
There are two primary factors that driving this change. To be successful today, modern security operations needs to understand these drivers and evolve their processes, procedures and tools to meet these new challenges.
The first driver has little to do with security as we think about it today. The modern IT organization is being required to deliver more business value at higher velocity with reduced costs. The most recent Rightscale State of the Cloud Report states that 85 percent of enterprises now rely on multiple clouds. This trend makes perfect sense as IT organizations reach for the best tools possible to meet their goals. However, the diversity of platforms and tools has driven more complexity in to the security operations than they were designed or resourced to accept. In my experience, most organziations have difficulty understanding where their data resides in the suite of platforms in use, let alone how that data is being protected.
The second driver is directly related to the security landscape. Over the past five years, we’ve seen the results from the investments adversaries have made in expertise. Modern attacks performed by advanced persistent threat (APT) groups rarely use sophisticated methods like zero-day attacks. Instead, these groups are characterized by the “persistent” component of their moniker. A consistent set of attacks, powered by cybersecurity expertise, is capable of breaching most organizations using traditional prevention or deterrence techniques […] Read more »
