Deloitte’s 2019 Future of cyber survey revealed that more than 90% of C-level executives say that less than 10% of their cybersecurity budget goes to digital transformation projects. All the while, digital transformation significantly broadens the cyber risk landscape. Is your cybersecurity strategy keeping up with digital transformation and an ongoing threat landscaped marked by aggressive and numerous cyber threats, such as the widespread SolarWinds/SUNBURST attack?
Process maturity models can provide a realistic understanding of an organization’s cybersecurity capability levels in relation to implementing these standards and frameworks. Used together, a framework and maturity model can guide strategic priorities and help to identify where to direct cybersecurity investments. You can also assess cyber risk by leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework to expose any weak spots across your enterprise.
A cybersecurity assessment can measure how well a company has prepared itself to defend against and recover from such attacks — its cyber resilience. Assessing cyber risk can be part of a more comprehensive risk assessment, including digital risk.
Consider an IronNet Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment to start.
The cyber talent gap is a widespread challenge. The ratio of the volume of network traffic versus the number of cybersecurity specialists to analyze that traffic is severely lopsided. All organizations face a daily balancing act of staying steps ahead of hackers who constantly present risk to the global digital economy while the cyber talent gap grows wider every minute. In short, cyber analysts are overwhelmed. Capgemini reports that, “Global business internet traffic is expected to increase three-fold from 2017 to 2022.” At the same time, the number of unfilled cybersecurity positions has surpassed four million worldwide.
How can your cybersecurity strategy account for the cyber talent shortfall? Qualified cybersecurity workforces in the public and private sectors across all industries are essential for defense in cyberspace, and everyone is vying for qualified cybersecurity specialists who are in critically short supply. Rather than fight an outdated personnel system, there are ways to multiple your SOC.
IronNet strengthens any cybersecurity strategy, whether for a Small and Medium Business or a Fortune 500 company, in the following ways:
Highly sophisticated and organized attackers are innovating faster than defenders can respond, as made evident by the number of “unknown unknowns” proliferating rampantly and rapidly. Sophisticated threat actors employ a wide variety of techniques and vary them rapidly. Behavioral analytics based on machine learning and other techniques are designed to keep up with the rapid change by providing broader visibility across the threat landscape. IronNet’s IronDefense Network Detection and Response draws on behavioral analytics and human insights to detect unknown threats faster for faster response.
Speed is critical to reducing dwell time, business impact, and the ability to successfully stop an attack. In a crisis there is insufficient time to warn other companies or organizations, making automated information sharing essential. Threat reporting and contextual information from individual organizations, critical infrastructure sectors, cities, and the government should be aggregated and acted upon, quickly, as a cohesive community-level team. IronNet’s IronDome facilitates collective threat intelligence sharing at network speed, creating a unified front for cyber defense.
IronNet Advisory Services are carried out by IronNet’s elite subject matter experts and security personnel work closely with each of our customers to help them deploy, operate, scale, and mature their cybersecurity defenses.
