Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the findings on the economics of today’s Security Operations Centers (SOC). Sponsored by Respond Software, Ponemon Institute surveyed 637 IT and IT security practitioners in organizations that have a SOC and are knowledgeable about cybersecurity practices in their organizations. Respondents supervise or are responsible for such activities as information security, threat detection and remediation and security operations management and more.

The 2019 Dark Reading State of IT Operations and Security Operations survey uncovered some important developments in the way enterprises are managing security in the data center – and in the boardroom. Here are some key takeaways: • 57% of respondents said IT and security staff communicate well, up from 47% last year. • 20% of organizations involve the security team at the start of every major IT project. • 69% of respondents say that the security team holds primary responsibility for compliance and privacy; this figure rose significantly – more than 12% – from our 2018 survey. • 90% of organizations expect the security team to take charge of developing and setting security policy. • 80% said the IT operations team is primarily responsible for patch management. • 20% of organizations have a distinct security department that operates separately from the IT team. • 18% of organizations have a fully-staffed security function. • 37% said the security operations team is most likely to be the first to detect and alert others about security incidents in the organization.

Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the findings of the second study on vulnerabilityand patch management. As shown inthis research, the severity and volume ofcyberattacks is increasing. However, mostorganizations are not comparably enhancingtheir abilities to prevent hackers fromexploiting attack vectors. In fact, it’s takinglonger to detect and longer to patch criticalvulnerabilities than last year. The cost andconsequences of this failure are myriad.

This 2019 edition of the SANS Security Operations Center (SOC) Survey was designed to provide objective data to security leaders and practitioners who are looking to establish a SOC or optimize their existing SOCs. The goal is to capture common and best practices, provide defendable metrics that can be used to justify SOC resources to management, and to highlight key areas on which SOC managers can focus to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of security operations.

This is a summary of vulnerability trends observed and investigated by the eSentire Security Operations Center (SOC) in 1H 2019.

Whether accidental or malicious, insider incidents can result in financial fraud, privacy abuses, intellectual property theft, or damage to infrastructure. It’s difficult for security pros to detect this suspicious activity because insiders need to have privileged access to data to do their jobs. Since insiders are people and, therefore, entitled to privacy and due process, security pros must handle these incidents with greater care than external threats. This report describes how to build an insider threat program.

From the report, “ONE OF THE most important priorities of a state chief information officer (CIO) is to reduce risk to their state. Cybersecurity and reducing cyber risk, specifically, is top of mind for every state CIO and many factors contribute to this. For example, it is unknown how many cyberattacks have been attempted on state government collectively, but one state estimates that two years ago there were 150 million attacks a day, while today there is an average of 300 million attacks per day. The same state has seen as many as 800 to 900 million in one day. "
