Security is often seen as a burden rather than a strategic business enabler.

According to a survey by McKinsey, 70 percent of organizations are not embedding security into products, services and processes, and 71 percent of executives say cybersecurity concerns impede innovation at their organization.

Complexity undermines security ROI. The security market has never garnered more interest, with Gartner estimating spending on cybersecurity to exceed $150 billion by the end of 2021.

Typical challenges faced by security professionals include IT projects that have been started with no security oversight, working with disinterested business managers and overwhelming workloads.

A different approach: integrating security into the organizational DNA. Rather than viewing security as a perimeter that should be secured, modern digital-first organizations must build scalable real-time security capabilities into the operating fabric of the business itself.
