Overcoming Security Overload

There are too many security tools not providing comprehensive solutions.

You have to be reactive and proactive when it comes to IT security. There is always some vendor or service that states that they have a different, better, more inclusive security solution. You buy these solutions to protect your organization against security breaches. You install firewalls, SBCs, and other perimeter solutions, but a new threat seems to emerge every day. You invest in training your users, but they still cause the majority of security headaches. The CISO and staff are on overload.

Too Few – Too Many Tools

You install the proper security tools, but is this enough? Should you work with a cloud service that has more resources and staff than you, or implement DIY solutions? There appears to be no absolute answer to these security questions. If you have the budget, you could duplicate what the cloud service offers, but that is assuming the cloud security service is invulnerable — not likely.

Cloud Security Alliance surveyed more than 200 IT/IT security professionals, and the resulting report, “IT Security in the Age of Cloud,” explores how recent trends in IT management and security are shaping IT security budgets and talent acquisition. The charts in this article are taken from the report. For the full article click here
