Operational Security Challenges
With the growing number of cyber-attacks and the new comprehensive tools used by attackers, monitoring security across the whole organization has become more challenging than it was ever before. That’s why organizations are facing many operational security challenges and are forced to implement more sophisticated measures. Following are some of the top operational security challenges that organizations are facing:
- Internal Inefficiencies: Owing to the complex nature of today’s security monitoring, the cybersecurity teams are so busy addressing security issues that they don’t find proper time to improve their processes and strategies.
- Big Data Issues: Organizations are collecting more data than before, which makes data management and security a big concerning element. Organizations have to become more strategic about which data to collect. All of such efforts eventually leave loopholes in security measures, causing sensitive data vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
- Security Tools Management: Organizations are now using multiple security tools in an effort to curb the growing data breaches. But multiple security tools make it difficult to manage them individually and all the data they generate.
- New Challenges with Cloud Migrations: More and more organizations are migrating their data and workloads to clouds, which is further increasing security threats. Besides that, the lack of skill sets and knowledge of security officers towards cloud computing is another concerning element.
