Why Security Defenses Are Failing – The
Strategic View
The attack surface
is expanding
Attackers are becoming
more sophisticated
Existing strategies &
controls are failing
Security teams are
missing attacks
Teams need to increase
experience & efficiency
Tools & processes must
adapt to today’s threats

Shift from Prevention to Detection & Response
“By 2020, 60% of enterprise information
security budgets will be allocated to rapid
detection and response approaches — up from
less than 10% in 2014.”
--Neil Macdonald and Peter Firstbrook, Gartner,
Feb. 12, 2014, Designing an Adaptive Security Architecture
for Protection From Advanced Attacks

Need a Incident Detection & Response Platform
“Firms are integrating endpoint, network packet,
and log data to broaden their security visibility and
analyzing this data with big data security analytics
techniques.”
