Executive Insights: Managing Risk Demands a Security Fabric Approach

In today’s rapidly evolving IT environment, CIOs and CISOs face an increasing level of complexity, both in the IT systems we manage and the cyberthreats we face. 

On top of managing and configuring the growing number of tools, devices, and applications within the enterprise network and distributed across multicloud hybrid environments, our teams also need to wrestle with growing organizational complexity of detecting and mitigating cyberthreats. For example, the security team that detects a threat may not be the same group responsible for mitigation and incident response.  As a result, a lag between threat detection and mitigation may occur and can last for hours, days, months, and in some cases, even years.  This is particularly significant given the increasing frequency of attacks using advanced malware that can cause irreparable damage in a matter of minutes.
