Trellix reveals insights on Emerging cybersecurity solutions, shares 72% of the CISOs cited faster and efficient threat detection and response with XDR
Trellix released critical research as a part of the company’s Mind of the CISO initiative. The report, titled “Mind of the CISO: Behind the Breach” was designed to better understand the unique challenges faced by CISOs and other high-level security decision-makers in the aftermath of a cyber-attack.
The report revealed that 52% of UAE security leaders cite gaps in technology as contributors to major security incidents. Furthermore, the post-breach analysis by UAE security leaders concluded that change was necessary to prevent repeat occurrences. 60% of those surveyed said their organisation’s experience during the incident had caused it to completely rethink its cybersecurity strategy.
Respondents were polled on the benefits of extended detection and response (XDR), the emerging approach in cybersecurity that brings together disparate security tools in a single-pane solution. 72% cited faster and more efficient threat detection and response. Among those respondents who did not have XDR deployed at the time of their incident, all agreed that the technology would have at least lessened the impact of the breach, and almost all (91%) believed it would have prevented the incident altogether.
“XDR is one of the best cybersecurity investments available today. It offers improved, consolidated visibility by ingesting data from siloed security solutions. It offers automated analysis that yields insights that would be unlikely to emerge from manual processes. The security function is therefore empowered to carry out faster, more productive investigations because the platform has already prioritised avenues of inquiry. Here we can see an end to alert fatigue and the beginning of a new era of high morale in the SOC and less risk across the board. And if that is not enough to get security leaders thinking in a new direction, imagine making a business case for XDR in which you can say with confidence that the entire security stack, now consolidated and simplified, will have a lower total cost of ownership,” said Vibin Shaju, General Manager,Trellix.
“Every day our security professionals are under siege. Our ‘Mind of the CISO’ reports show this, not in theory but in fact. XDR lifts them up and lets them take the fight to the threat actor,” added Shaju.
