LogRhythm, the company powering today’s security operations centers (SOCs), today announced the release of its report, The State of the Security Team:
Even as the number and severity of ransomware attacks ratchet up, agencies have low-cost options for hardening their IT systems.
The attack method and the technology being leveraged is still the same. It’s just the fact that they’re disguising it and putting the cover of the pandemic over it to get the users to click more.
Now, more than ever, security teams are being expected to do more with less leading to increasing stress levels. With more organizations operating under remote work conditions, the attack surface has broadened, making security at scale a critical concern. This is a call to action for executives to prioritize alleviating the stress and better support their teams with proper tools, processes, and strategic guidance.
