Att bekämpa brott på internet blir för de flesta företag inte lättare med tiden. Cyberbrottslingar ökar hela tiden takt och sinnrikhet i deras attacker. Tekniken och tillvägagångssätten förbättras stadigt och attackerna blir ännu svårare att hitta och hindra.
A new security reality is here:
Sophisticated attackers break through conventional safeguards every day.
Organized criminals, hacktivists, governments and adversaries are compelled by financial gain, politics and notoriety to attack your most valuable assets. Their operations are well-funded and business-like ‒ attackers patiently evaluate targets based on potential effort and reward. Their methods are extremely targeted ‒ they use social media and other entry points to track down people with access, take advantage of trust, and exploit them as vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, negligent employees inadvertently put the business at risk via human error. Even worse, security investments of the past fail to protect against these new classes of attacks. The result is more severe security breaches more often.
61% of organizations say data theft and cybercrime are the greatest threats to their reputation (2012 Global Reputational Risk & IT Study, IBM).
And the costs are staggering. By one estimate, the average cost of a breach is over $3.5 million (2014 Cost of a Data Breach Study, Ponemon Institute)

Cloud, mobile, social and big data drive unprecedented change.
Businesses are adopting mobile, social, big data and cloud to analyze and share information at unprecedented rates. This influx of new innovation, technologies, and end-points push more and more business transactions outside company walls and completely transform enterprise security as we know it. As the traditional network perimeter around the data center permanently dissolves, it is more difficult to defend company data from the increasing gaps in security, and to verify that users accessing data are protected.
In one study, 70% of security executives expressed concern about cloud and mobile security. (2013 CISO Survey, IBM) Theft or loss of mobile devices, privacy concerns associated with cloud, and accidental sharing of sensitive data are some of the key fears. (2013 Juniper Mobile Threat Report) Without dynamic protection, an organization may spend more time recovering from attacks than it does preventing them. And those who do not prepare for change are leaving their companies dangerously exposed.

Yesterday’s security practices are no longer sustainable
Up to now, organizations have responded to security concerns by deploying a new tool to address each new risk. Now they have to install, configure, manage, patch, upgrade, and pay for dozens of non-integrated solutions with limited views of the landscape. Costly and complex, these fragmented security capabilities do not provide the visibility and coordination needed to stop today’s sophisticated attacks. Moreover, the skills and expertise needed to keep up with a constant stream of new threats is not always available.
83% of enterprises report having difficulty finding the security skills they need (2012 ESG Research). As new risks emerge, the environment will grow more complex and the skills gap wider. 49% of IT executives say that they are challenged by an inability to measure the effectiveness of their current security efforts (Security Intelligence Can Deliver Value Beyond Expectations And Needs To Be Prioritized, Forrester) and 31% of IT professionals have no risk strategy at all (2013 Global Reputational Risk & IT Study, IBM). Many security teams are simply operating in the dark.
