Gartner analyst, Neil MacDonald, proposes that now is the time for companies to turn their focus from an incident response model of security to one that provides continuous response. MacDonald coins this as a Continuous Advanced Threat Protection approach to security. While most security professionals have come to grips with the fact that at some point they will fall victim to a compromise, the approach to security by and large still revolves around responding after something bad has occurred. Now this is by no means the fault of the security professional alone. The tools they have at their disposal, most of which offer a siloed view into their security posture, many times restrict their capabilities.
To truly make the shift towards MacDonald’s continuous response, security professionals need to evaluate tools and processes with a fresh set of eyes. Steve Salinas, Product Manager at Alert Logic, the leading provider of Security-as-a-Service for the cloud, has pulled together an article outlining the four things to consider when making this necessary shift in security approach.
