In today’s threat landscape, businesses require security technology to solve several use cases. Here we’ll explore the most critical cybersecurity use cases for your organization: Continuous monitoring Continuous monitoring delivers powerful operational awareness, streamlined security analysis, and ongoing visual feedback. Achieving visibility across your environment is among the first — and most essential — steps to securing your organization. To achieve continuous monitoring for your security operations program, choose a massively scalable platform with a powerful data schema and prebuilt data integrations supporting the most innovative technologies in your enterprise stack. Threat protection Threat protection refers to technologies, applications, and other security solutions that protect an organization from common cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, and other viruses. The idea behind threat protection is that an organization can block specific threats before damage can occur. There are a number of different types of threat protection that organizations can employ. Traditional firewalls can offer protection, as can network access control, Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), and Application Visibility and Control (AVC). Investigation & response When an incident or threat occurs, it’s essential that an enterprise investigates and responds as quickly as possible. A fast response is essential so that the impact of an attack is minimized. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, and the result is an average total cost of $4.35 million for a data breach2. To achieve investigation and incident response for a security operations program, enterprises must choose a massively scalable platform with a powerful data schema and prebuilt data integrations supporting the technologies already in your stack. Threat hunting Threat hunting is a proactive approach to finding, detecting, and ultimately minimizing vulnerabilities and cyber attacks. With threat hunting, IT departments will proactively look into any anomalies, investigate them, and ensure that there are no malicious activities that could lead to a large-scale breach. Threat hunting is particularly helpful for combating advanced persistent threats, as these can linger undetected in a network environment for months while collecting sensitive information.
