The ability to quickly and effectively respond to threats is an essential ingredient of any modern cybersecurity strategy. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, businesses are at risk because cyber criminals are able to bypass older security protocols. In fact, the average total cost of a ransomware breach has reached $4.62 million, according to IBM. Traditional tools are set up to respond after a compromise has occurred. The mindset… Read More
What Cybersecurity Tools Are Essential for My Business?
As workers and data become more distributed, bad actors are capitalizing on weak security points. In fact, Forbes reports that cyberattacks are nearly twice as frequent in 2023 as they were in 2022.

Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that the median cost to victims per ransomware incident more than doubled over the past two years to $26,000, with 95% of… Read More

Compounding this, the pandemic pushed people, data, and devices out of… Read More

The world of threat detection and response is broad, with many different components. And each of those components must work together to fully protect your business’s digital assets. Security and information event management (SIEM) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) are two pieces of the larger security puzzle. The ultimate goal is to eliminate dwell time (the amount of time an adversary goes undetected in your environment). While EDR and… Read More
How Much Does EDR cost?
Security solutions such as threat detection and response (TDR) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) have become the “go-to” for companies looking to better protect their data and prevent cyberattacks within their systems. Despite an average cybersecurity budget increase of 29% in 2023, cyber experts say they need a further 40% rise to be confident in their ability to mitigate security risks. While cybersecurity can be costly, the cost of… Read More
How Do I Choose a Threat Detection Tool for My Organization?
With 3,000 cybersecurity tools on the market, and many threat detection and response tools that sound the same, it can be difficult to discern what’s best for your business. Depending on the research report, enterprises deploy between 40-70 security tools. So, let’s take a look at your options (in today’s threat landscape, doing nothing is no longer an option): 1. Do it yourself – run multiple POCs, purchase, install, integrate,… Read More
