This fragmented situation is made even more complex when parts of the infrastructure are outsourced, virtualised or migrated to the cloud. The result: the organisation simply cannot see what it is trying to defend, making planning an effective defence strategy almost impossible. In their attempts to deal with this, many organisations have become highly reactive and have over-invested in security information and event management (SIEM) and other alerting and monitoring tools. These tools are now generating so much data that their security teams don’t know where to focus. Typically, their security processes will also have become highly dysfunctional, making organisations less and less able to respond to the rapidly evolving threat landscape. They therefore face a range of interlinked problems including: • Disjointed security tools, processes and organisational silos • A highly reactive approach, undermined by a lack of resource and context • The proliferation of security ‘big security data’ • Difficulties in securing strategic business programmes • Inability to counteract the evolving threat landscape • No visibility of their infrastructure and environment So how does Skybox enable you to address these complex challenges? n Download whitepapers free from www.intelligentcio.com/me/whitepapers/ www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 21
