Once you understand the importance of being cyber-resilient and committed to security , you must see and understand what is happening in the infrastructure .

It undoubtedly leads to decisions aiming at agility , security and availability . The challenge for decisionmakers such as CIOs is to keep the three criteria aligned .

Based on the principles of agility and availability , cloud is considered the means to offer the possibility of ondemand and flexible growth when requested by the customer or the business .

On the other hand , security has evolved from a concept of protecting to being cyber-resilient . What does it mean ? This term says that the possibility of a company suffering an attack is very high and inevitable , so the strategy must focus on early detection , mitigating them in their early stages and thus reducing the impact on the business .

Once you understand the importance of being cyberresilient and committed to security , you must see and understand what is happening in the infrastructure . However , recent studies indicate that out of 2,000 companies surveyed globally , 27 % waste time dealing with false positives .

How can the security team , which is crucial to a CIO , be helped ? We cannot avoid relying on technology . I highlight the XDR solutions , which analyze information from different security controls , giving context to this information and details that allow a SOC to focus on alerts with better context and with greater accuracy .

Last but not least , it is essential to define and know the company ’ s risk level . It is only possible if the visibility aspect is achieved because it will provide knowledge of the attack surface and consequently provide a level of risk with which better decisions can be made and prioritized .
