Recently, ThreatQuotient hosted an interactive discussion regarding security orchestration and cyber security automation adoption – what it is, what it’s meant to do, and why it can present a challenge for security teams to set up and maintain. What we heard from attendees was that the most common issues preventing them from integrating some form of security automation into their internal processes are the necessary time and resources.
In the past year, research indicates that nearly a third of organizations have accelerated their plans to automate key security and IR processes, while another 85% plan on automating them in the next 12 months. Despite the positivity of these statistics, many organizations struggle to change to a more automated process. This was highlighted at a recent webinar we held with a panel of senior cybersecurity experts from a multitude of sectors.
“Safe travels!” It’s been a long time since most of us have uttered that phrase. Now we’re saying it with increasing regularity as family members, friends and colleagues are traveling again with greater ease and confidence. I’d like to suggest that when those of us in the security industry wish someone a safe trip, we use the opportunity to remind them of the increased cybersecurity risk they now face and share our expertise for how to protect themselves.
The threat landscape means the entire scope of potential and recognized cybersecurity threats affecting user groups, organizations, specific industries, or a particular time. As new cyber threats emerge daily, the threat landscape changes accordingly.
In previous blog posts we’ve discussed the value of a data-driven approach to security operations. In this post, we’d like to reflect and take a closer look at what that approach means to the automation of SOC (Security Operations Center) workflows and how it has influenced the product and design decisions of ThreatQ and ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator.
We are excited to announce Quadrant Knowledge Solutions has named CrowdStrike as a 2022 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix analysis of the global Digital Threat Intelligence Management market.

Today’s escalating threat landscape means that security operations teams face a multitude of challenges. This can make it challenging for them to keep pace with the sheer scale of threats, tactics and techniques that bad actors frequently use. When you consider recent ransomware attack statistics, it is easy to see that cybercrime has intensified, with a record-breaking number of threats of increasing severity taking place year-on-year.
