Organizations need to accelerate defense against targeted attacks, says Trend Micro
Trend Micro India has commissioned a Forrester Consulting survey to explore the need of network security and security operations in enterprises in the current market. The survey revealed that targeted threat detection and response is not a single point solution product or technology but rather a combination of technologies and competencies that integrate into a company’s security strategy.
If organizations want to protect intellectual property and shareholder value, they must adopt advanced threat detection and response solutions that identify malicious activity quickly and enable earlier mitigation of targeted attacks,” said Sharda Tickoo, PMM, Trend Micro India.
The lack of focus on security technologies that truly combat targeted attacks is matched by the false sense of security organizations have in their ability to deal with these attacks. A large majority (77%) of IT security decision-makers are confident in their organization’s ability to thwart targeted threats today. In fact, these decision-makers claim to be almost as adept at defending against targeted attacks as they are at detecting commodity attacks.
Additional Forrester survey data reveals that, in the past year, 55% of the organizations surveyed claim to have had no compromises or breaches. In reality, many of these organizations have been compromised but simply don’t have the technology available to detect the malicious activity. As a result, enterprises overestimate their abilities.
