Recommendations

With more than 20 years' experience of observing malware as it has evolved from hacktivism to advanced threats, we believe that the security platform of the future is not just about prevention. While your security strategy should be built upon the firm foundation of a multi-layered defense solution, it is important to have a holistic approach - detection, response and prediction. Complex threats are detected by a stack of technologies – collecting data from the network and all types of endpoints, and then processing it with sandbox analysis, event correlation, anomaly detection etc. Threat intelligence is crucial for a modern enterprise security strategy. It is very important to gather as much data as you can. That's why Machine Readable Threat Intelligence is essential to enrich your Security Operation Center.

Statistics based on less than 30 respondents should be used with caution, due to this being a low base.
