Optiv Security: Proactive Approach Towards Cyber Security
With boost from government’s initiatives to make India a digital economy, enterprises in India are increasingly embracing digital transformation. Increasing pressure to continuously innovate, entice customers and reduce the operational costs has led businesses to deploy latest digital technologies that help them enhance their customer experience and improve business productivity. However, unfortunately the digitization has also increased the attack surface of businesses, exposing them to rapidly evolving cyber security threats.The traditional threat handling methods which primarily focus on identifying threats and then reacting to them, have failed to address the security issues of businesses, putting them on the edge of risk. The conventional approach and response to cyber security issues has resulted in non-integrated infrastructures and processes built in response to every new security requirement, increasing the operational complexity. Hence, evolving advanced security handling mechanisms with proactive approach has become imperative for business to survive in the current digital world. Moreover, government’s push for the cyber security compliance of businesses has amplified the need for the deployment of advanced cyber security solutions.
