They discovered that though enterprises spend an average of $18.4 million annually on cybersecurity, data breaches persist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the key findings of the Ponemon Institute and AttackIQ, they determined:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">53% of experts admit to feeling in the dark about how their technologies perform and meet cybersecurity expectations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, only 39% of respondents feel they get the full value from their security investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only 41% say their enterprise can effectively determine security gaps and close them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, 56% say data breaches persist due to visibility issues in their networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only 35% say they have a high degree of confidence in visibility in their cloud and IoT devices.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ponemon Institute and AttackIQ cite multiple causes at the heart of these issues. Indeed, enterprises often face a lack of in-house expertise due to the cybersecurity staffing crisis. However, enterprises also face an insidious threat: complexity issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"box box3\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/siem-buyers-guide-security-information-and-event-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SIEM Buyer&#8217;s Guide<\/a> helps you evaluate the best solution for your use case and features profiles of the leading solution providers and their key capabilities.<\/div><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Why Complexity Issues Persist in Cybersecurity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In part, Ponemon and AttackIQ found complexity issues persist in cybersecurity due to a lack of automation. Only 24% of the respondents say they use an automated solution which could help them close security gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet most complexity issues in cybersecurity stem from over, not under, preparing. On average, respondents say their enterprises deploy 47 separate cybersecurity solutions. Having so many solutions deployed at once does not close cybersecurity gaps. In fact, too many solutions can cause integration issues which in turn creates more cyber security gaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead, enterprises should look for a streamlined cybersecurity and SIEM solution which fits their particular use case. Ideally, this solution should offer next-generation SIEM capabilities like threat detection, security correlation, and log management, as well as scalability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn more by reading our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/siem-buyers-guide-security-information-and-event-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2019 SIEM Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
