Security professionals face the challenge of staying ahead of the rising rate of attacks and the increasing sophistication with which they occur. Organizations must design and adopt ever more advanced threat protection solutions and strategies that leverage new technologies and approaches to detect and block attacks. But with all of the available solutions and approaches from which to choose, how do you know which one will work best for you?
The SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls are a valuable structure upon which to build your organization’s readiness to counter cyber-attacks, but it can be difficult to meet the demands of all 20 controls without holistic command over the environment. As the high-profile recent breaches at companies such as Target and Neiman Marcus demonstrate, even organizations with advanced security systems and adequate staffing find it difficult, if not impossible, to effectively fend off cyber-criminals without processes to control the discovery and management of security blind spots.
This whitepaper, “Defend Your Organization from Cyber-Thieves: Don’t Be the Next Target,” explains how AccelOps approaches 17 of the SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls and how you can take steps to better secure your organization.
