When an incident occurs — be it ransomware, a vulnerability exploit, or another kind of sophisticated attack — robust incident response can be the difference between quick remediation or costly, extended down time.

In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, where threats evolve hourly and every endpoint is a potential vulnerability, rapid response can make or break an organisation's defences. A recent customer case study showcases how our Quick Actions feature is enhancing the way organisations handle cybersecurity incidents.

With cyber attacks increasing in frequency and damage, it’s more important than ever for organizations to understand that an incident of any scale is more of a “when” than an “if.” That means that, as part of a comprehensive security strategy, organizations should not only focus on keeping threats out but also ensure that if a threat turns into an incident, they’re prepared to swiftly respond and recover.

This week, I’m excited to announce Cloud Enrichment for AWS, GCP, and Azure. These enhancements are designed to accelerate incident response and unlock threat hunting capabilities by automatically combining the insights of your cloud network with the native control plane data from your cloud service provider.

Gartner listed identity threat detection and response (ITDR) among its top security and risk management trends for 2022 and beyond — and study after study keeps verifying the importance of an effective ITDR strategy. For example, the Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA) revealed that more than 90% of the organizations it surveyed suffered an identity-related attack in 2023, and a 2024 IBM report found that attacks using stolen credentials increased by 71% year over year.
