A government organization or a financial company targeted for attack once is likely to be targeted again at least three more times throughout the year, according to the Symantec 2016 Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR) Vol 21. Cyber criminals are setting their sights on governments and large enterprises. In fact, large businesses that experienced a cyber attack saw an average of 3.6 successful attacks each last year, according to the ISTR Vol 21.
Organizations are battling hard against these cyber threats, monitoring activity from the cloud, to the network edge, to endpoints. Enterprises and governments are generating more security data than ever before.
But they’re also drowning in it.
How do you transform data into timely, actionable intelligence to protect infrastructure, information, and identities? And how do you put intelligence in the right hands so you can take action, while still addressing privacy requirements and other mandates?
