Outsourcing Security Without Inviting Risk and Wasting Money

Few enterprises have all the cybersecurity skills and resources they need in-house, making outsourcing a necessity. Rather than trying to build an internal kingdom, it’s often more beneficial for midsize and large organizations to build their core team and strategically outsource specific capabilities. Experts weigh in on how to select and work with third-party security service providers

Making Sense of Your Security Data: The 6 Hardest Problems

Maximizing security operations data takes not only an understanding of data sources and what they mean for risk, but also careful data management and cost awareness. Security data is typically siloed and it's also extremely diverse and varying in quality. Security operations personnel have to perform deep analysis and thoroughly understand data's context to use it effectively. The data integration and analysis issues that crop up from data silos demand a lot of strategic and tactical planning.

Zero-Trust Adoption Driven by Data Protection, Cloud Access Control, and Regulatory Compliance Requirements

Zero-trust initiatives are a key focus for many companies. Nearly 30% of organizations are already rolling out zero-trust initiatives to control access to their data and assets and more than 80% will have the capability within the next 18 months. Organizations are addressing cybersecurity challenges by enhancing identity and access management, privileged-access management, and data classification. They expect to see budgets for zero-trust initiatives grow modestly over the next 12 months.
