Sophisticated tools provide false sense of cyber-security: Survey

“The abundance of technology investments gives firms a false sense of confidence in their security posture. Their challenges reveal a different story,” said the report. Security executives currently employ a variety of tools and technologies to identify risks and test the effectiveness of their security controls. As a result, they are left with point-in-time assessments that require them to cobble together data from disparate systems to truly understand the organisation’s security posture. This approach is reactive, labour-intensive, and insufficient in scale, explained the report. [via CI Security 9/30/19]
