In order to shift security postures from reactive to proactive positioning, organizations will need to re-evaluate their security strategy so that they are able to shape the attack surface to their advantage and make network traffic analysis solutions the cornerstone of their detection and response capabilities relied on by SOC teams.
First, organizations need to know what their security stack contains - what capabilities are present and utilized, what capabilities are missing, and what capabilities may be duplicative.
In order to overcome this, organizations need to use their newfound terrain visibility and threat-framework mapping to transition to truly threat-driven operations that will fortify reactive capabilities with proactive, predictive, and retrospective capabilities.
This improves network traffic analysis capabilities by institutionalizing threat detection and response best practices like rigorously mapping the cyber terrain, identifying vulnerabilities and supporting SOC teams in threat detection and response with an integrated tech stack that provides continuous end-to-end visibility solutions.
Network traffic analysis solutions must increase the discovery, identification, situational awareness, and integrate with rapid response capabilities to reduce cyber dwell time, providing the adversary the least amount of opportunity to achieve lateral movement and remove critical data from your enterprise.
