Securing the Digital Workplace

USA, Dec 27, 2024

Cyberthreats grow more dangerous by the day, and organizations are struggling to keep up. Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) tackles the problem with a combination of advanced tech and expert support.  

Malicious actors are becoming smarter. Their tools, techniques, and tactics are growing more sophisticated by the day.1 Unsurprisingly, security teams are feeling overwhelmed.  

According to Vectra AI, 81% of cybersecurity professionals spend at least two hours a day triaging alerts.2 Much can happen in that amount of time — per Microsoft, it takes an average of only 72 minutes for an attacker to access sensitive data after a successful phishing email. 3 

Equally troubling is the scale of these attacks. Digital transformation has dramatically increased the attack surface available to intruders. Now, threats can come from anywhere in the digital ecosystem. 

Fortunately, the right security strategies can help organizations stay ahead of modern threats. 

The Three Pillars of Cybersecurity in the Digital Workplace 

To address the complex challenges of the modern digital workplace, organizations must focus on three core areas: identity and access, data security, and device and endpoint protection. Together, these pillars form the foundation of a robust security posture. 

Identity and Access 

With cloud services and remote work dissolving traditional security perimeters, passwords and firewalls alone are no longer enough. Organizations need sophisticated identity and access management (IAM) tools to verify user identity and maintain precise control over resource access. 

Data Security 

A data breach can devastate an organization. To protect information and avoid regulatory fines, reputational damage, and operational disruption, organizations must adopt an integrated, holistic approach to data security. This approach should not only ensure security throughout the ecosystem but also minimize the burden on end users. 

Device and Endpoint Protection 

Organizations now manage a complex landscape of endpoints, from laptops and smartphones to embedded systems, each representing a potential entry point for attackers. Securing this intricate network requires unified endpoint security that spans devices and platforms while integrating seamlessly with identity and data security controls. 

MXDR: A Consolidated Approach to Digital Security 

Trying to manage these security pillars independently can lead to gaps and vulnerabilities. To address evolving threats, organizations need a consolidated approach that integrates IAM, data security, and endpoint protection into a single, comprehensive solution. 

Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) does just that.  

An MXDR platform spans the entirety of an organization’s ecosystem, unifying critical security functions such as IAM, data protection, and endpoint security into a coherent, manageable solution.4 With AI, the platform analyzes insights from diverse sources such as cloud workloads, event logs, email, and security tools. It understands how threats to each of these elements interconnect, allowing it to detect attack patterns which one might miss when viewing them in isolation. 

More importantly, this powerful threat detection technology is backed by 24x7 expert monitoring and response capabilities. Security teams no longer need to sift through a mountain of disconnected alerts. Instead, the organization gains a unified security operation that never sleeps — one that detects, identifies, and contains threats faster, while the business focuses on growth.
