Executive Summary
Description
As the attack surface increases, defenders must focus on their most important goal: reducing their adversaries’ operational space.
Adversaries have more tools at their disposal than ever before. They also have a keen sense of when to use each one for maximum effect. The explosive growth of mobile endpoints and online traffic works in their favor. They have more space in which to operate and more choices of targets and approaches.
Defenders can use an array of strategies to meet the challenges of an expanding threat landscape. They can purchase best-of-breed solutions that work separately to provide information and protection. And they can compete for personnel in a market where talent is in short supply and budgets are tight.
Stopping all attacks may not be possible. But you can minimize both the risk and the impact of threats byconstraining your adversaries’ operational space and, thus, their ability to compromise assets. One measure you can take is simplifying your collection of security tools into an interconnected and integrated security architecture.
Integrated security tools working together in an automated architecture can streamline the process ofdetecting and mitigating threats. You will then have time to address more complex and persistent issues. Many organizations use at least a half dozen solutions from just as many vendors (page 53). In many cases, their security teams can investigate only half the security alerts they receive on a given day.
The Cisco 2017 Annual Cybersecurity Report presents research, insights, and perspectives from Cisco Security Research. We highlight the relentless push-and-pull dynamic between adversaries trying to gain more time to operate and defenders working to close the windows of opportunity that attackers try to exploit. We examine data compiled by Cisco threat researchers and other experts. Our research and insights are intended to help organizations respond effectively to today’s rapidly evolvingand sophisticated threats.
