White paper: Constructing a Cohesive Cybersecurity Foundation

Each business team has its own processes, tools, metrics, data, and reporting assignments. Any collaborative efforts to manage enterprise risk holistically are ad-hoc and manual. The practice of using more external services in order to consume leading technology (software, cloud, infrastructure, data, and more as-a-service) combined with engaging and depending on increasing external service providers has resulted in a major expansion in the management of both threats and vulnerabilities to the enterprise. At the same time, organization’s (one organization, multiple functions) security, risk, and IT functions are challenged to do more, often with less. The impact: risk, administrative overhead, and operational gaps as a result of organization siloing grow unmitigated, and in some cases, unmonitored.
