Cyber security companies have made global headlines recently with a series of significant incidents which caused widespread disruption. The CrowdStrike incident is estimated to have cost Fortune 500 companies as much as $5.4bn, according to Parametrix analysis. The Okta data breach and Ivanti Virtual Private Network (VPN) vulnerabilities raise similar concerns about the impact cyber security incidents can have at a global scale.
Cyber security professionals and organisations are under significant pressure with a rapidly evolving threat landscape, increased threats from nation state sponsored actors, the offensive role AI can play in cyber-attacks and the increased availability of cyber exploit kits. Part of the challenge is that the everyday detection and prevention of cyber-attacks does not make headlines but does contribute significantly to the performance and resilience of customers and the global economy.
To address these challenges, cyber security companies need a best practice approach to major incidents.
