As Bob Meindl, CEO of Binary Defense, said recently, “If you start at the macro level, the challenges in the global landscape, from a geopolitical perspective, from a threat perspective, and from a macroeconomic perspective, all elements are coming together now to continue to ramp up the threat landscape. That, coupled with the challenge and shortage of qualified talent for organizations to go out and hire and build their own security operations center, is really exacerbating the need for outsourcing managed detection and response capabilities.”
Continued geopolitical threats increase the threat level for organizations at every scale of cybersecurity maturity and at every size and importance, due to the fact that compromise of trusted partners, vendors, and suppliers is a major avenue of attack as perimeter defenses continue to improve. Moreover, the responsibility of organizations for both reporting requirements and liability is swiftly changing due to bipartisan legislation and regulations currently being drafted or already in place. A defense in depth strategy that utilizes the concentrated skills and resources of a managed security provider, such as the MDR, SOC, and Threat Hunting services provided by Binary Defense, is a critical element for organizations that lack the resources to build a team that can fully respond to the modern threat environment.
