Why Cybersecurity Is About More Than Prevention-Focused Products

The author emphasizes the fact that when people and technology are united through processes, the organizational security posture is the strongest. In the evolving cyber realm where criminals have access to ever increasing numbers of attack vectors due to an increasing attack surface, sole reliance on preventive measures is inadequate. Instead, the author posits that threat detection and response is the way to go. Organizations need to develop detection and response capabilities that uses an action plan with a security team that combats the attacks that will inevitably come. Increasing the capability for incident response is also financially sound and a more realistic approach to organizational cybersecurity.
