Security: IT Security is Too Reactive to Data Breaches Rather Than Being Proactive
Many businesses aren’t motivated by leaky IT security unless there is a major problem, according to a new survey by Ponemon. It’s not until the loss of data becomes ‘significant’ that two-thirds of IT organizations say that they are motivated to take action.
Jack Harrington, vice president of cybersecurity and special missions at Raytheon, said that “cybersecurity is not a waiting game, and organizations without the expertise and tools required to identify and respond to skilled adversaries need to understand that. The old approach waited for technology to flag known threats. ”
David Amsler, president of Raytheon Foreground Security, said that “there is only one way to find the most sophisticated, damaging cyber threats attacking a company’s network: proactively hunt for them. Too many organizations today rely on reactive models and automated tools that attempt to detect threats through signature-, rule- or sandbox-driven models. The reactive approach is not enough to stop the determined and sophisticated adversaries which are most often the cause of significant damage or data loss.”
