50% of security alerts are ignored– why? - First Consumers Financial of Gulfport

_ 04/26/2018_ _ 0 Comments

50% of security alerts are ignored– why?

Every organisation surveyed said they are seeking to hire more qualified security professionals. Another evolving trend is the increase in use of security products from multiple vendors. This is probably a reflection on the fact there are few vendors who have a complete integrated solution portfolio that is best of breed. More organisations are now saying that an integrated solution is easier to implement and is more cost effective. The increased number of security vendors within an organisation does however present many challenges. There is an increase in the number of alerts from multiple vendors which also obfuscates rather than clarifies the security picture. There is now an even stronger case for security vendors to ensure that their solutions interoperate with other vendors, thus reducing risk and increasing efficacy.

The proliferation of events and alerts is resulting in IT security teams becoming overwhelmed to the extent that nearly 50% of legitimate alerts are not remediated simply because the organisation does not have sufficient security personnel. As the number of vendors’ products deployed increase, there does appear to be an increase in the number of breaches detected, probably due to the increased detection capabilities. Many organisations are now seeing more than half of their systems being impacted with some departments such as Operations the most likely to be impacted. Breaches are often accompanied with undesirable public attention resulting in more than 50% of organisations having to undergo public scrutiny of breaches.

Investing Many security professionals are expecting a tougher year ahead as they consider their changing environment with respect to increasing cloud adoption and IoT devices. Additionally they expect increased scrutiny from regulators, executives, stakeholders and clients alike. Unsurprisingly an increasing number of organisations are increasing their investment in security because they have been breached. In a bid to manage the increasing workload, organisations plan to invest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. In addition outsourcing of services such as monitoring and incident response are becoming more popular in a bid to stretch resources and strengthen defences.
