In 2005, a new market emerged when Gartner coined the term "SIEM" OR Security and Information Event Management. Back then, it was a legacy system aggregating event data produced by security devices, systems, network infrastructures and applications. However, it lacked monitoring functionality and was limited to vertical scalability.
We measure and test things that are important in our lives, from credit scores to blood pressure. For cybersecurity, testing threat protection defenses is an expected benchmark. Netskope recently completed a set of anti-malware tests with AV-TEST, an independent anti-malware testing lab based in Germany with one of the world’s largest databases of malware samples. Every second, AV-TEST discovers four to five new malware variants.
As manufacturers dash headlong into smart factory initiatives, the number of IoT devices operating in factories, warehouses, and across supply chain infrastructure is exploding. Manufacturers seek to utilize IoT in a range of places, be it video camera inspection devices on the assembly line, temperature sensors on refrigeration units, or maintenance telemetry sensors on factory equipment.
“Automation” has become a buzzword in cybersecurity circles. That’s not surprising in an environment where security specialists are in short supply and under intense pressure to defend the business against a huge variety of threats from innumerable different sources.

You know the kind…the ones related to jQuery, cross-site scripting (XSS), JavaScript injections, formjacking, etc.
Insider threat incidents have increased by 44% over the past two years, and the cost of an incident now tops $15.3 million, according to the 2022 Cost of Insider Threats report from Ponemon. To defend against this pressing security — and business — risk, organizations need a comprehensive insider threat detection strategy. This article provides extensive guidance to help you get started building an effective program.
‘Measure the Real Cost of Cybersecurity Protection’, by Gartner® analysts Stewart Buchanan, Paul Proctor and Bryan Hayes, is available for a complimentary download from the Netacea website until 31st August 2022. We think the report teaches how to use outcome-driven metrics to set protection-level agreements (PLAs), gaining business stakeholder support and the budget approval needed to deliver them.
