A new report, Tackling Attack Detection and Incident Response, from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), commissioned by Intel Security, examines organizations’ security strategies, cyber-attack environment, incident response challenges and needs.

This data strongly suggests that CISOs Create tightly-integrated enterprise security technology architecture, Anchor their cyber security strategy with strong analytics, moving from volume to value, Automate incident detection and response whenever possible, Commit to continuous cyber security education:
