Insight into need for Information Security Visibility: Survey

According to a recent research from Frost & Sullivan, it has been reported that information security professionals don't have nearly enough visibility into the information they are tasked with securing. This visibility gap can lead to data loss and being susceptible to attack.
 
In a recent on-demand webinar with WatchGuard Technologies, Frost & Sullivan Principal Consultant Jarad Carleton shared the results of a survey the firm had conducted.

Frost & Sullivan report said, Defence in depth is important, but multiple systems with multiple dashboards increase the burden on overtaxed InfoSec professionals. By distributing where information lives and not having a way to connect the systems or servers that house a businesses' lifeline, the risk of a hack or exposure through vulnerability can go unmitigated. Research shows that only 15 per cent of the IT spend is funnelled towards detecting an intrusion or compromise.
 
Moreover, WatchGuard Technologies offered an insight into the need of information security visibility.
