Which of Gartner’s 2019 Top 7 Security and Risk Management Trends Are Impacting Your Business? - Part III
If you followed my recent blogs about the Gartner Top 7 Security and Risk Trends for 2019, you probably read my take on trend no. 1, as well as no. 2 and 3.
In this part of the series I am going to review trend no. 5, 6 and 7. You may notice that I skipped trend no. 4 - it’s an important one but not something we at Splunk are addressing at the moment. Enjoy!
Our customer success organization includes services such as customer success manager and admin on-demand services to ensure that value is created . Because even though there may be similarities, each data journey at every organization is unique . Splunk customer success managers offer support on anything from use case development and data lifecycle to user enablement and building a center of excellence.
In addition to our online training, we offer educational workshops such as “Phantom for Rookies”, building automation playbooks for phishing or our top-notch capture the flag blue team exercise: Boss of the SOC - investigating and responding to a breach at Frothly - our favorite Beer Brewery whose brewing secrets have been stolen by an APT Group.
Hundreds of security teams have participated at Boss of the SOC over the years, making it one of the largest and most successful red and blue team exercises in the industry.
Siemens shared how it has been using a prevent, detect, investigate, respond approach for years to continuously improve its cybersecurity program.
The Bank of England moved from a vendor-lead strategy to an adversary-lead strategy. It is doing so by focusing on the tactics and techniques cyber attackers apply. Moreover, the SOC was modernized and refined, enabling the security team of the Bank of England to spend 80% of its time to create new analytics rather than spending time on incident response. The security team is able to get a turnaround within 2 hours - from learning about a new attacker tactic to implementing the analytics for detection and validation in its environment.
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to seeing you at Gartner’s Security and Risk Management Summit in London from the September 9th - 11th.
