Rapid7 is committed to promoting research that identifies the latest cybersecurity trends so that organizations can leverage these insights and create programs that make sense for the modern SOC. To that end, we’ve singled out five quick insights security professionals and stakeholders should consider when looking ahead. These findings are based on Top Trends in Cybersecurity for 2024, a new research report from Gartner®.
Organizations Will Focus on Improving Resilience
As cloud continues to be adopted at a frenzied pace across organizations large, small, and everything in between, it’s critical to maintain organizational resiliency as attack surfaces expand and security becomes more urgent than ever. Indeed, the research notes that: “Improving organizational resilience has become a primary driver of security investments for several interconnected reasons:
“Digital ecosystems continue to sprawl, due to increasing cloud adoption.Organizations are entrenching hybrid work arrangements.The threat environment continues to evolve as emerging capabilities also embolden attackers.”Continuous Threat Exposure Management Programs Will Take Off
Organizational attack surfaces have expanded for many reasons: the adoption of SaaS, remote work, custom application development, and more. All of these changes are efficiency drivers for businesses, but can also become liabilities rife with vulnerabilities. As organizations put more products and policies into place – especially from multiple vendors – it can become more difficult to manage this new attack surface at scale.
The research stipulates that, in order to try and solve this issue, “security and risk management (SRM) leaders have introduced pilot processes that govern the volume and importance of threat exposures and the impact of dealing with them with continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) programs.” Short-term remediations can only go so far; t ..
