Attackers who gain access to a network can steal, modify or destroy sensitive data while they blend in with legitimate users. Often, they can infiltrate organisations and dwell inside networks for months or even years without being detected. Simultaneously, the volume of alerts legacy threat monitoring systems generate and the emergence of multiple point products aimed at solving singular security issues both pose serious challenges for cybersecurity teams trying to manually oppose targeted attacks and insider threats.
According to the December 2017 Forrester® Research report “Five Steps to a Zero Trust Network,” written by analysts Stephanie Balaouras, Chase Cunningham and Peter Cerrato, “Manual security operations slow breach detection and response, leaving data and systems vulnerable to attacks or giving attackers more time to exfiltrate data and cause lasting damage to the environment.”
