Top 5 Critical Capabilities of a Detection and Response Platform

Introduction

When making cybersecurity investments, most organizations have historically focused on prevention. But as stated in a Gartner research note, “Given the complexity of threat detection, the age of buying a single best-of-breed threat prevention product is mostly behind us. What is needed is a detection stack capable of gathering enough telemetry using various methods, including APIs, and analyzing it correctly to find the attack needle in the data haystack.”

That said, business leaders increasingly recognize that the complexity of security infrastructure and alert management presents an ongoing challenge. The good news is that 75% of organizations are pursuing cybersecurity vendor consolidation, preferring platforms over an array of point products.
