Cyber security practitioners are primarily investing in endpoint, threat detection and response security controls, research by CS Hub has revealed.
In the CS Hub Mid-Year Market Report 2022, 44 percent of respondents said that their organization is currently investing in endpoint security controls, while 42 percent said they were investing in threat detection and response controls.
Endpoint security involves ensuring a network’s endpoints, such as mobile phones, laptops and desktop computers are protected against threats. In today’s digital climate, the amount of devices in use across an organization has risen exponentially, as most employees need access to multiple devices in order to do their jobs.
When paired with the emergence of hybrid or completely remote working and the move away from a secured on-premises network, means that businesses must be constantly vigilant about endpoint security.
As a result of this, investment into early detection and response is a smart move, as it increases a company’s ability to minimize the risk of a breach. The cyber security space has seen the emergence of extended detection and response (XDR) technology in the general endpoint detection and response (EDR) market which many CISOs implement to bolster their endpoint security.
