Research Brief: Modern Cyber-risk Challenges Require Deeper Context, Automation, and Continuous Analysis
Research Brief

Companies are regressing in the ability to manage cyber-risk and vulnerabilities due to a lack of broad asset discovery and state monitoring, deficient surface depth threat intelligence and point-in-time assessment, and insufficient vulnerability context to make prioritization possible. A lack of automation is creating an environment where the time it takes to assess state and security posture takes too long, causing analysis to be conducted on stale context. Recent research by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group reveals that cybersecurity leaders must focus on improving what data they collect, while building a system that is fast enough to keep up with a modern enterprise environment’s pace of change. To achieve this, organizations expect cyber-risk management tools to consolidate disparate data sets into something much broader over time and build a continuous approach to vulnerability and risk management.
