\"checkyourprivilege\"It’s no secret, we’re living in the age of the data breach. As of March 29th, 2016, there have been over 202 data breach \u00a0incidents in 2016, with a total of 6,184,526 records compromised according to a report from the Identity Theft Resource Center<\/a>\u00a0(ITRC). That puts \u00a0the US on track to eclipse 2014\u2019s record high 783 data breaches.<\/p>\n

The average cost of those breaches? $3.79 million, according to research from the Ponemon institute. And, beyond the immediate financial cost, data breaches can cause an unquantifiable loss in customer confidence.<\/p>\n

And yet, many companies avoid or minimize security breaches – in 2015, according to the ITRC, over 90% of the Fortune 10000 did not suffer a reportable security breach. So what did\u00a0those security teams do differently?<\/p>\n

That’s the question that the SANS Institute<\/a> aims to answer with their yearly “Best of” Security awards.<\/p>\n

Established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organization, The SANS Institute is the largest source of information security training and certification in the world. Its programs now reach more than 165,000 security professionals around the world.<\/p>\n

Every year, the SANS Institute surveys those 165,000 security practitioners, most of whom use commercial products, and publishes what the community likes best.<\/p>\n

Created to “raise awareness of the solutions that organizations are using to successfully fend off attacks,” The SANS Best of Program showcases the solutions that SANS says are “making a difference by reducing the business impact of cyber attacks in real world applications we believe we can help security professionals to reduce the number of successful intrusions.”<\/p>\n
