HABITS OF EFFECTIVE NETWORK SECURITY
Make Better Use Of Intelligence
Successful cybersecurity organizations have made a commitment to security intelligence. Compared to lower performers, the best organizations are six times as likely to have deployed a SIEM and four times as likely to invest in machine-readable threat intelligence. They're also six times as likely to use automated tools that alert them to new devices appearing on the network.
Instill Cooperation Between Network, Security, And App Teams
Bottom-tier organizations tend to be more siloed than their counterparts. Cooperation among network operations staff, security staff, and application teams is the name of the game in top-tier organizations, with 100% of them reporting this as a best practice compared to just half of bottom-tier organizations. The high performers are also nine times as likely to use integrated visibility tools and four times as likely to use integrated security tools.
Leverage DNS/DHCP Data
This is a growing differentiator between the security haves and have-nots. Close to half of top-tier organizations use DNS/DHCP data to discover new devices, compared to zero bottom-tier contenders. The best organizations are also three times as likely to use DNS logs for security purposes.
Automate Basic Tasks
Manual processes kill bottom-tier performance and the best orgs recognize that. Almost all top performers have automated routine tasks--including configuration management and compliance tracking. That's three to four times more likely than the average laggard organization.
Invest In Security Staff
This may seem like a no-brainer gimme, but the top-tier organizations are performing well because they're investing in their security staff. These leading orgs are three times less likely to report being understaffed for security and 58% say they have a dedicated incident response team, compared to 33% of the laggards.
