When I'm Hacked
Security discussions have gone from “if I’m hacked” to “when I’m hacked”. We’re constantly looking for advantages against attacks and to stay ahead of the hackers. With financial pressures, all of us in the corporate (or public sector) world want to do more with less while not overwhelming our teams. The security industry is full of new and impressive technologies, innovative controls to give the “single pane of glass” for simplicity and ease of use. Sophisticated technologies provide better threat mitigation and overall integration and use of current security toolsets.
What’s the right mix? How do we keep up with changing products, changing threats, changing budgets, expiring contracts, new technologies, security conferences, tradeshows, certifications and training: all challenging elements of today’s security solutions among many other factors. Is outsourcing security the answer?
Managed Security Services
Managed Security Services have been the answer for many organizations and the popularity is increasing. Companies are saving costs and freeing up man hours for other business critical projects while depending on the "teams" of trained, experienced and dedicated security analysts for their insight. As more companies turn to external management of their security solutions, by 2022 it is projected that Managed Security Services will have grown 16.2% to total $43.5B.
