As part of my job as an industry analyst, I do lots of quantitative research with security professionals. One question we often pose to security professionals is around their biggest challenges. The research results often include issues like coping with alert storms, addressing the dangerous threat landscape, managing a multitude of point tools, scaling manual processes, and staffing shortages, along with one other challenge that comes up on nearly every survey, often with the highest percentage of responses: Security professionals report that they are challenged because the cybersecurity team at their organization spends most of its time addressing high-priority/emergency issues and not enough time on strategy and process improvement.
