A Swift Threat Response

The new frontier in cybersecurity is a lot like the the wild west.

Cyber threats are like those old-time outlaws, always looking for a way to sneak into your operations. And just like in those classic westerns, it’s not enough to know there’s a bandit around; you’ve got to be quick on the draw to respond. That’s where we see a lot of businesses facing a real challenge.

The Wild West of Cyber Threats

Imagine your business is a bustling settlement on the digital frontier. Now, this town faces all sorts of threats. There’s the notorious Phishing Gang, who sends deceptive messages trying to trick your folks into giving up their gold (or, in modern terms, sensitive data). Then, you’ve got the Ransomware Riders, locking up your saloon (or your critical data) and demanding a hefty ransom to get it back.

The trouble is, even with the vigilant lookouts, spotting the danger is only half the battle. Most cybersecurity solutions out there are pretty good at telling you there’s a problem. But it’s like saying, “Hey, there’s a bandit in your saloon,” and then just leaving you to deal with it.

The Challenges of Closing Security Gaps

The Vast Terrain to Protect: Securing every inch of your territory is daunting when the outlaws need only one open gate. A solid security stance requires multi-layered defenses across all six threat vectors.

Unknown Security Gaps: Sometimes, breaches like the one Microsoft experienced in November 2023 go undetected until it’s far too late. Microsoft didn’t discover the attack until January 12, 2024—that’s a long time to have a hidden outlaw in your network, learning and collecting valuable information.

Adversaries Evolve to Evade Detection: Adversaries are always upping their game, and yesterday’s top-notch tools can quickly become today’s antiquated six-shooters. Organizations often invest money, time, and resources in best-in-class technologies only to discover “best-in-class” is a moving target.

Enter XDR

Now, imagine having a sheriff in town with a posse that’s got eyes and ears everywhere—that’s XDR for you. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) isn’t just another security tool. Ideally, it’s like forming an elite team that’s not only great at spotting trouble but also jumps into action to stop adversaries in their tracks.

The thing is, not all XDR solutions are created equal. Email and DNS are critical battlegrounds; yet, surprisingly, most “XDR” solutions leave these critical gaps open.

TECH Talk: Prepare to be Hacked

Many security tools activate only after a breach occurs. While essential, it's equally crucial to implement preventive measures that mitigate threats and minimize breach impact.

Shahin Pirooz and Kirstin Burke share how to strike the right balance between reactive and proactive cybersecurity strategies in our March TECH Talk: Prepare to be Hacked: A Strategic Cybersecurity Planning Session .
