Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

It’s not possible to talk about a successful cyberattack without prior access to the target company's network. Initial access brokers (IABs) are the malicious actors that perform this first step, and they are making accessing enterprise networks easier than ever.

The rapid escalation of cyberattacks around the world has increased the number of prerequisites to qualify for a cyber insurance policy. If a business faces a cyberattack involving a data breach, it may find it hard to recover without additional support or resources. And this is just one example.

Cybersecurity solutions have evolved from a basic investigation and discovery technology to behavioral analysis solutions that enable real-time detection and response. However, if they are to be truly effective, they must also protect against anomalous behavior that may seem harmless on its own, but after gaining a bigger picture by correlating and contextualizing detections, turns out to be an incident that needs to be responded to as soon as possible.

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, cybersecurity efforts must follow suit and organizations must mature their security operations (SecOps) capabilities to stop threats before damage occurs or minimize their impact. But what is the current average security operation maturity index in the organizations?

The cybersecurity industry is constantly adapting and reinventing itself as the complexity of the threat landscape is increasing each year. Unskilled and insufficient employees are significant barriers making organizations unsafe. The lack of competent cybersecurity partners and the shift to remote working are additional barriers to making organizations secure. Organizations are therefore turning to MSPs to address these challenges.
