From the report, “The challenges facing security teams are, perhaps unfortunately, common knowledge by now. A constant rise in alert volume, a stark security skills gap, piecemeal processes, and siloed tools have made security operations a tough place to be. In 2018, Demisto commissioned a large study to delve deeper into these issues, their manifestations, and possible solutions. The 2019 report broadens the perspective from Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) to the security incident response lifecycle. Demisto commissioned a study with 552 respondents to find out specific challenges at each stage of the incident response lifecycle, how current product capabilities help overcome these challenges, and what capabilities are missing within security products today.”
