If you're an IT security professional, you're almost certainly familiar with that sinking feeling you experience when presented with an overwhelming number of security issues to remediate.

If you aren't prioritizing cybersecurity risks effectively, you're not only creating a lot of extra work for your team and yourself - you're also needlessly exposing your organization to IT security attacks.

For many years, IT security attacks have been enabled by a haphazard approach toward prioritization.

Here's what we mean: IT security is highly complex and perpetually changing; given the extraordinary number of variables and the dynamic nature of the landscape, it's difficult for security personnel to make optimal decisions - or to even understand the best processes for making those decisions.

Cloud migration - and the challenges of handling on prem/cloud risks in an integrated manner - has created new attack paths while greatly increasing the demands placed on modern organizational security teams.
