It takes an average of 65 days for organisations to discover a cyber security breach. Advanced evasive threats are easily bypassing traditional security tools such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and antivirus software.
In today’s digitalised and hyper-connected landscape, industrial control systems are increasingly less isolated and more vulnerable to hackers. We are seeing more attacks on critical information infrastructure such as power grids, healthcare operations, transport systems, manufacturing plants, and more. When these get hacked, damages will no longer be limited to revenue, IP or reputation loss. They will be catastrophic, leading loss of lives and homes, ecological damages, or even flooded cities.
According to Gartner, enterprises are transforming their security spending strategy in 2017, moving away from prevention-only approaches to focus more on detection and response solutions. ² Cyber security strategy needs to be reformulated with the idea that a breach is inevitable, and attacks need to be disrupted before they have a chance to cause damage.
Let’s take a look at two solutions that will enable your organisation to adopt a detect, respond and remediate approach.
