Cybersecurity is crucial to protect against rising cyberattacks, which can be mitigated with advanced data solutions that enable real-time correlation and analysis of connections at scale. Effective security posture involves monitoring assets continuously and automatically, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing defense in depth strategies such as zero-trust approaches. Budgeting for cybersecurity requires understanding the likelihood and potential cost of breaches to present proposals with a projected return on investment. Training employees is essential to reduce human error-related breaches, while policies and procedures like least privilege, patching, authentication, backups, and vendor security evaluations are critical to minimize risks. A graph-based approach can enable organizations to analyze their security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and automate monitoring and alerts.
