Data hacks are only getting worse for businesses everywhere. The average cost of a data breach is $3.86 million, taking 280 days to identify and contain. Can your organization afford something like that?
Not having the right protections to identify and address threats in real time can put your organization in serious jeopardy.
Why Is Security Monitoring & Response So Critical?
Cyber criminals don’t care about your hours of operation. The right security monitoring and response service should be active and ready 24/7 to identify, prevent and mitigate any and all attacks threatening your network, and more importantly, your organization’s ability to operate.
For many organizations, having an effective security monitoring and response service also is mandatory for staying compliant. Whatever regulation your organization is tasked with following, you need to ensure your security monitoring and response service fulfills all pertinent compliance requirements to avoid costly penalties or audits.
Pitfalls to Avoid When Choosing a Security Monitoring and Response Service
Choosing the right security monitoring and response solution is imperative. Avoid these common pitfalls as you evaluate and identify the right one for your organization.
- Network monitoring is not the same as security monitoring: Both serve critical functions, but your network monitoring service will not identify and prevent cyber-attacks. These two should complement – but not replace – each other.
- Security monitoring and response doesn’t have to be expensive: Be wary of any “off the shelf” solution. Every organization’s cyber security needs are unique. The right solution should be scaled to be meet your network’s existing needs and capable of growing with your network.
