Before opting what cybersecurity investments to secure in 2021, companies need to prioritize.
What is the biggest crack in our security exposure? What must our budget goal be this year?
What solution can best enhance our security lscape?
Gartner says that, if there is enough capacity to incur a single large security project in 2021, then extended detection response (XDR) should be the first choice. There are several reasons this we’ll discuss them later in this segment.
SECNOLOGY wanted to know what companies believe about XDR if they will pursue Gartner’s guidelines regarding deployment.
We surveyed enterprise security experts at the executive level within the SOC to determine their stance on XDR.
Our survey was answered by a diversity of roles, which SECNOLOGY believes closely reflects the contrast of XDR stakeholders in the enterprise. Because XDR is a solution that combines various security products spans a wide range of operative silos, many different roles within IT cybersecurity organizations will feel its impact gains.
The benefits of XDR are apparently something most organizations wish need. As reported in our survey on XDR, almost 80 percent of security experts said XDR must be a main cybersecurity issue their business. Additionally, with three quarters of organizations planning to deploy XDR in 2021 or 2022. Clearly a big endorsement XDR.
SECNOLOGY maintains that the massive appeal of XDR in recent months is due to the appeal that XDR is a platform that can really fulfill its commitment of integrating multiple tools into unified threat detection response operation, not another gadget that generates more alerts the SOC that is already overwhelmed
XDR is a solution that automates integrates the tools they already have deployed, so organizations can strengthen their security posture at all levels.
When we surveyed companies on how they aim to implement XDR what they hope to achieve, we found that 60% of security experts want actual, quantifiable improvements in their key KPIs: MTTD (Mean Time to Test) MTTR. (Mean Time to Response). In addition, 50% wish improved security performance without hiring more cybersecurity professionals, who are expensive difficult to find.
This call to do more with less seems to be directed by the security resources. Most of those surveyed said their entity’s security budget is remaining the same, nearly 25% of those surveyed expect the budget to be reduced. The static budget also suggests that people realize that putting more people into siloed security operations will not increase MTTD MTTR. In addition, the cost rarity of expert security personnel, signifies that human responses can’t scale with the alert rates.
Companies have many security tools at their disposal. What they miss is integrated intelligent automation security experts to view, mitigate respond quickly effectively to the complex, multi-varied threats they encounter.
Not unexpectedly, our survey found that a mere 5% of companies depend on one vendor security operations. The large majority (95%) have deployed best-of-breed tools from several vendors as they deploy their security infrastructure over time. To leverage their XDR benefits experience the least risk, it is common sense the 95% to use a vendor-independent XDR platform that can consolidate security data from multiple vendors’ security controls automate their response. In this regard, we think the value of vendor-independent XDR can be easily expressed to management. Not just will the business investment in current security tools be secured, but the achievement efficiency of those tools will be enhanced.
XDR is the only investment that will converge correlate all the point products in your cybersecurity arsenal, allowing threat detection response operations to be integrated, automated, much more efficient.
