A holistic approach to cybersecurity
In times of uncertainty–and really, when is anything truly certain?–none of us has the luxury of complacency. Organizations that proactively invest in their cybersecurity fundamentals, that deploy solutions from trusted and proven providers like Symantec and Carbon Black, can build the resilience necessary to respond and stop unexpected attacks. Meanwhile, diversifying security solutions, building redundancy and prioritizing the core pillars of endpoint, data, network and detection/response are essential steps to prepare for the unexpected.
You can think of Symantec and Carbon Black as representing different personas in the cybersecurity battle that organizations fight every day: Prevention, which is largely personified by Symantec; and detection and response, which is largely represented by Carbon Black (though Symantec is a big player there as well). The truth is, both of them work together, delivering prevention, detection, analysis and response–all informed and supported by the intelligence corps, which in this case is the Symantec and Carbon Black Threat Hunters.
Together, you have a fighting force that includes soldiers that eliminate the threat as quickly as they detect it and move on to the next threat and the next one, and…well, you get the idea. They even hunt for and eliminate threats that might be lurking behind the lines. And then you have an expert intelligence community analyzing the threat: Where was it just before it got on our radar? What’s it doing now? What’s it doing next? They look at it, understand it and analyze it. The two help you take a comprehensive approach to those critical fundamentals. Addressing these fundamentals is vitally important.
