A smaller majority (55.3) also call upon incident response plans. However, it does speak to a possible over-reliance on reactive tactics rather than proactive threat hunting in cybersecurity and SIEM.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Patch Management and SIEM<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When SolarWinds and IDC asked their respondents what cybersecurity solutions they use to defend against external and insider threats, most cited email security. 66.3% rely on such a solution. Data encryption, identity and access management, and web application firewalls served as the next most commonly utilized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, endpoint protection platforms (32.3%) and patch management (27.0%) remained shockingly low. The latter especially indicates a lack of consideration for cybersecurity hygiene; cybersecurity platforms and security analytics need patches for foundational threat intelligence and limiting potential security holes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, almost none of the enterprises surveyed call upon a full-fledged <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/here-are-the-top-5-benefits-of-siem-for-enterprises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SIEM<\/a> solution. Yet your business should not make the same mistake. Relying on a digital perimeter such as email security leaves you vulnerable to dwelling or evasive threats. SIEM offers the threat detection, remediation, and correlation necessary to discovering the threats hiding in your network. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can read the full <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=ZtwlexVZIsnyC0o5HxHw8Q3OJN3sizGopTqcGL_WE2-yiDKTAXXJgVPAoEWGT6itmbzyMQ_8ypa_UxDR_PuUvLx72nkEX_afk4RfE18YAOO25fufG6inD_YWi1AcIbAdwyUTIARwzP2vvCEYrgCkw8J6-5YpPecFsV2rhSRM1FbsoS3mlxxGOECnxsBIB1Z0spFG3Qy_z5YUH0GeUN9cMDHfOWxSXLmlJu0u33CnnshLJrQYD5Ey9XH89nCd95ygG9Z8ITHDMujq5gWL75j-M7twH2rFxvO-il7rabtTtW4=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Affordable Tools and Shared Responsibilities Define Midmarket IT Security Trends<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> report from IDC and SolarWinds here.
