Never before has cybersecurity presented such a complex challenge. IT infrastructures now consist of employee desktop PCs and Macs, servers and storage platforms, multiple private and public clouds, on-premises data centers, and hundreds to thousands of mobile devices and apps. The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) adds even more end points, with many companies already gathering data from numerous connected devices.
While enterprises struggle with this growing IT complexity, they face three significant technology gaps when it comes to implementing effective security across their IT infrastructure: no real-time visibility into all the elements; no holistic view across the entire IT environment; and no real-time actionable insight into where the security analyst must focus.
