FEATURE : CYBERSECURITY enable CISOs to react quickly and to provide value during the heat of the incident , at the very time it ’ s needed , identifying how the security breach happened and how to prevent it from doing more damage .
Response
When we think about response , we are really talking about Managed Endpoint Detection and Response ( EDR ) providing next-generation endpoint security that can quickly identify and stop abnormal behaviours . Cybercrime is becoming more sophisticated and attack vectors are everywhere , particularly since the move to remote working . The end-user is the biggest vulnerability in any network environment and education is important . But the risk still exists , no matter how much training is given and it is critical to proactively protect the endpoint every single day .

Improving defences with Managed Security Service Providers ( MSSP )

The global managed security services market is predicted to reach US $ 356.24 billion by 2025 , so it ’ s clear that more security professionals than ever are turning to MSSP solutions to bolster their defences .
