Organizations are maximizing operational efficiencies through innovative technologies, enabling greater connectivity across a broader network of devices. These technologies also introduce organizations to a higher level of cyber risk.
A data breach currently costs US$ 4.24 million on average, according to recent IBM and the Ponemon Institute research.
Beyond their financial impact, data breaches impede an organization’s compliance with extraterritorial general data protection laws like GDPR and cause irreparable reputational damage.
CISOs are well aware of the need to thoroughly manage their entire attack surface in order to mitigate cyber risks like data breaches.
As organizations manage hundreds to thousands of employees, vendors, systems, and processes, following a systematic approach to comprehensive cyber risk management proves difficult.
Security teams must also translate technical details like security postures, cybersecurity risk assessments, vendor questionnaires, and information security policies into clear, concise executive reporting.
Many organizations are turning to cyber security tools to automate data breach detection capabilities, access real-time insights, and streamline remediation workflows.
We assess two cyber security tools, Recorded Future and UpGuard to help you make an informed decision before investing in the right solution for your needs.
