The Case for Automating Data Security in a Down Economy

When it comes to core business functions like data security, automation gives many companies an edge – and delivers tremendous benefits. In the near term, automating data security lowers the day-to-day burden on security teams by removing the need to address and fix security issues manually. It also ensures that sensitive data stored on the cloud is kept out of the hands of cyber-criminals through automated permissions and controls. In the long term, automating data security strengthens a company’s overall corporate security defenses, reducing risk and minimizing the chances of a data breach. It also helps companies significantly reduce labor costs while increasing the ROI of their security investments.

Converting Risk to Strategic Advantage: A Proactive Approach to Risk Management

Cyber-attacks are increasing worldwide, with 2022 seeing 38 percent more cyber-attacks per week on corporate networks compared to 2021, according to Check Point Research. In recent years, the attack surface for organizations has grown, and the complexity of the digital footprint has expanded exponentially through cloud adoption and digital transformation. For most companies, “doing your best” on cybersecurity is no longer enough. Cybersecurity professionals need to move toward a proactive, informed, real-time monitoring approach that allows them to transform risk from being something to manage into a strategic advantage. Considering that it takes security teams on average 277 days to identify and mitigate a breach, every minute a company lacks visibility or fails to respond gives hackers a chance to cause significant damage, both financially and reputationally. That’s why a proactive approach to seeing, understanding, and acting on risk is critical to improving the effectiveness of defenses.
