We hear a lot about the cybersecurity skills gap, which the latest research puts at 770,000 open positions in the U.S. and 3.4 million globally. There are lots of reasons why organizations find themselves dealing with a skills deficit – from an actual dearth of qualified talent to internal factors including turnover, lack of budget/competitive wages, limited opportunities for growth and promotion, and lack of training.
Coping with limited resources is a common challenge for security operations teams. Whether it’s due to budget constraints, staffing shortages, or other factors, security teams often need to find ways to do more with less. Let’s talk about some strategies we can use to achieve success in this environment.
Just as your organization thinks it is prepared, new cyber threats appear. In March 2023, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) published its list of the 10 top cybersecurity threats to emerge by 2030.
We’ve come a long way since ThreatQ v4 and our own Jay Allmond, UK Threat Intelligence Engineer at ThreatQuotient, recently shared the details during a hands-on webinar that’s now available on-demand. In this 30-minute session that as Jay says, “is light on PowerPoint and heavy on nerdy stuff”, we review the basics of the ThreatQ Platform and dive deep into some of the newest capabilities.
Enterprise security operations teams find it increasingly difficult to maintain a hardened posture against advanced network and cloud threats. Given the rapid adoption of cloud platforms and software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools, cloud application traffic has overtaken web traffic to dramatically expand the attack surface. As a result, overreliance on traditional security controls can lead to increased blind spots, and control misconfigurations can create significant business risks.
