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.
