Staying ahead of advanced cyberthreats is hard. And detecting unknown or hidden threats is even harder, especially when existing point and legacy security tools can’t address the complexity and volume of advanced security threats.

These outdated solutions struggle to detect risks posed by insider threats, laterally moving malware and compromised accounts, partly because they’re not built for today’s cyberthreats, but also because the software solutions that powered legacy security operation centers (SOCs) flood analysts with a high volume of alerts, many of which are false alarms.

No matter how hard-working or talented your security team is, there will be a considerable backlog of security incidents — and that’s not going to get better. The reality is that there simply isn’t enough skilled security talent out there — we’re 3.5 million short, in fact – and the ones who do exist are expensive.

So what are companies who rely on dinosaur technology to do? They need to start building the next generation, modern SOC today.
