While it's easy to think that one tool will solve your security burden, the reality is that cyber criminals are determined to get into your network, steal data or disrupt performance.
Be Proactive
Act on what your data tells you.
Layered security creates a lot of data, and the more data you have, the more difficult it is to act on it. Prioritizing your important assets can help you sift through the data, but in today's world, it's not enough to act only when you see something is wrong.
The data you are collecting becomes even more valuable when you can use it to be proactive about threat protection. Use this data to stop individuals before they do anything by placing reputation information into your firewall or your IPS, or having that information in your SIEM.
