A top challenge faced by security practitioners is double-edged: you’re trying to keep up with new and increasing cyberattacks — all while investigating and remediating existing threats.
As we know all too well, time is of the essence when you’re investigating threats and determining the scope and root-cause of a potential breach. On top of that pressure, you’re likely short on resources and experienced personnel, limiting your ability to conduct thorough investigations.
