Democratizing security means that all data and findings can and should be considered.
Such an ability can elevate the paradigm of an unwieldy level of security alerts to one of far more accurate incidents.
The traditional approach to security results in a state where a data breach, or something worse, is inevitable, and teams are taxed far beyond their ability.
At the same time, companies are expecting security teams to become enablers of digital business and become more involved with risk, adding to already full plates or shifting time to these new demands.
The old mentality needs to be discarded-instead, we need to use these tools to stop the new era of attacks and move from an alert-centric to incident-centric security team.
A highly experienced, robustly staffed security team could potentially gather all the data and alerts, correlate them manually and make better assessments of security events.
