To protect the business, security teams need to be able to detect and respond to threats fast. The problem is the average organization generates massive amounts of data every day. Information floods into the Security Operations Center (SOC) from network tools, security tools, cloud services, threat intelligence feeds, and other sources. Reviewing and analyzing all this data in a reasonable amount of time has become a task that is well beyond the scope of human efforts.

As security teams witness that their organization’s digital footprint keeps growing in size and complexity, the urgent need for attack surface discovery becomes clear. But what exactly does attack surface discovery entail, and why is it so crucial in today’s digital landscape? This blog post aims to demystify attack surface discovery and provide insights into its importance for security operations teams.

Torq has been hand selected as a Wiz Integration (WIN) launch partner, bringing the power of Torq Hyperautomation to WIN, so that our joint customers can continue to seamlessly integrate Wiz into their workflows, empowering them to automate their response. WIN enables Torq to deliver actionable remediation and response to threats with a full audit trail of automated security actions.

To compete in an increasingly cutthroat marketplace, retailers spend vast sums in hopes of becoming household names. But brand recognition is a double-edged sword when it comes to cybersecurity. The bigger your name, the bigger the cyber target on your back (no pun intended for the number one breach on our list). Retailers face growing cybersecurity risks.

The evolution of cybersecurity tools is nothing short of remarkable, but I suppose they had to be when it isn’t just the Morris Worm you’re worried about. There has been a wave of buzz around the latest technology in years gone by. EDR evolved into MDR, then SASE, and in recent times we’ve seen Immutable Backup take the front seat.

For years, security leaders have debated the advantages of building in-house security operations centers or outsourcing the SOC function to a third party. Both options have their pros and cons. The best choice for each organization depends on a few factors: the type of threats it encounters, the resources it has at its disposal, the complexity and breadth of their attack surface, and the commitment it wants to make to advanced threat hunting.

The complex and growing cyber threats that impact business cybersecurity require the right intelligence. Cybercrime costs are expected to: Want proof? Cyberattacks increased by 7% globally in the first quarter of 2023 alone. Organizations need a proactive way to prevent and mitigate these threats. Enter Security Operations. Security Operations is crucial in helping organizations find, prevent and mitigate cyber threats.

No matter the industry, geography, or organizational size, cybersecurity teams are united by their many shared challenges: talent shortages, expanding attack surfaces driven by digitization and remote work, increasing velocity of software development, and the rapidly growing scope and sophistication of global cybercrime. In response, these teams have embraced and incorporated a range of specialized tools within their defensive arsenal in attempt to address and resolve these issues.
