For CISOs, the sad truth is that it’s no longer a matter of if an organization will be breached, but when. According to AV-Test, more than 1 million new malware programs have been discovered in 2023 alone. What’s more, with the acceleration of cloud adoption and the rapid move to remote and hybrid work, the potential attack surface continues to grow exponentially.
Even with strong defenses in place to prevent a potential data breach, security teams should still prepare for the worst. In the event of a breach, they need to have full visibility into exactly what happened so they can quickly contain the damage and inform customers and other stakeholders in a timely manner. Additionally, when a zero-day exploit comes to light, such as the infamous LogJ4 or SolarWinds vulnerabilities, organizations need to determine quickly whether they, too, are exposed.
