  Analyst Opinion Cybersecurity is a topic that practically every company must tackle Driven by an increasing awareness of risks and threats, the market for cybersecurity solutions is growing fast Whilst it was common to dismiss cybersecurity as a task for the IT department, it is now increasingly becoming part of top-level strategic planning The COVID-19 crisis led to many companies having to reduce or delay investments, also in cybersecurity At the same time, new impetus is generated due to a strong shift to mobile working and increasing cyberattacks The market is expected to continue showing strong growth, albeit at a lower level than in the past because of the change in trend towards more target-oriented investments North America is the dominant region in this market, and the largest segment is IT Services. ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE DEFENSE  What is the goal of an effective cyberdefense?  Simply stated, the goal is to take the onus of perfection off of the defender and push it back

  TENSION BETWEEN SECURITY AND PRODUCTIVITY Security and productivity are often diametrically opposed Security measures tend to drive up costs, slow down progress, and add steps Vendors often claim their security technology is seamless and invisible to users, but it requires installation, upgrades, and operation It is almost impossible to add security to an enterprise without impacting productivity in some way MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE RISK Cutting the security budget and balancing security capabilities against risks encompass the concept of maximum allowable risk (in other words, how much security risk is acceptable?). Enterprises use metrics (such as probes, attacks, and intrusions), in part, to show management how the security risks are being stopped/mitigated Metrics help everyone understand how close the enterprise is operating to a potential cybersecurity disaster.   SECURITY EFFECTIVENESS OVER TIME An enterprise’s security posture effectiveness is not static and is subject to factors wi

  Disrupt, Detect, Delay, Defeat Consider the four Ds of an effective cyberdefense Disrupt attacks to make them more difficult and deter less-determined attackers.  Detect attacks so defenders can learn about them and prepare a response.  Delay attacks in progress via obstacles requiring attackers spend time working around them.  Defeat attacks as quickly as possible and before they can accomplish their objectives.  ENTERPRISE ATTACK SEQUENCE IN DETAIL  Targeted attacks methodically work through victim defenses The attack sequence gives defenders opportunities to successfully defend the enterprise by tracing the attack backward and identifying the data attackers might want to steal, modify, or destroy Attackers might target data on servers, on endpoints, over the network, in backups, or on its customers’ or business partners’ systems Attack steps are not always executed exactly in sequence This process does not deal with distributed denial of service attacks.  WHY SECURITY FAILS AGAINS

 Digital Transformation will increase organizational agility  Business silos integration and the boundaryless information flow between  Organizations will continually increase their dependency on digital solutions During their own digital transformation journey security risks will rise  Digital assets “Data” will be exposed to cybercriminals Organizations are now seeking for automating their own processes  Make them intelligent processes through the Robotic Process Automation “RPA” Put digital KPIs on their employees to measure their contribution in the Digital Transformation Journey For instance, organizations may need to measure the percentage of automated processes vs. manual processes This digitalization approach will increase the organization dependency on digital solutions Which will help them to achieve their business outcomes and release the automation benefits It will also extend Organizations’ IT environments on the cloud and the use of IoT devices and other emerging technolo
