Why it matters

Security teams face persistent challenges that limit effectiveness and increase organizational risk.

Security operations dashboard

Expanding attack surface

The attack surface continues to grow while threats become more sophisticated. Complex investigations can delay response and increase attacker dwell times.

Alert volume overwhelms teams

Security teams manage an ongoing backlog of alerts. Reactive workflows leave limited capacity for strategic initiatives or proactive threat hunting.

Talent shortage compounds complexity

Experienced analysts and threat hunters remain difficult to recruit and retain. A proliferation of security tools adds further operational complexity.
