State of Security

Information is intrinsic to the core of any business. Most organizations would find it impossible to function without the availability and absolute privacy of their proprietary – and priceless – information. Therefore, securing it across the extended enterprise is critical to the success of any organization.
Every organization needs to take a layered approach to security, utilizing both processes and solutions designed to prevent compromise. Complicating the challenge of managing risk and securing data is the fact that “the enterprise” now extends far beyond what were the traditional boundaries of enterprise networks and perimeter firewalls. Companies are giving direct network access to trusted business partners and contract workers, and in some cases, even to customers. Workers access the enterprise network remotely using consumer-class mobile devices, many of which are personally owned and not controlled by the company whose network they access. Moreover, data and applications are being moved into public and hybrid cloud environments where the data owners have little direct control over security.

Security Operations Maturity Model

whitePaper | February 20, 2020

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, your cybersecurity efforts must follow suit. With your security operations center (SOC) at the core of your offense against threats, you must ensure that it can handle anything that comes its way. To be effective, you need to mature your SOC to stop threats early — before damage occurs. Whether your SOC is a virtual team of two to three or a 24x7 operation, maturing your security operations capabilities will help you achieve a faster mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) to cyberthreats. This white paper explores LogRhythm’s Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM), which explains how to measure the effectiveness of your security operations. Through the model, you can learn how to mature your security operations capabilities, improving your resilience to cyberthreats.
