The cybersecurity market has reached a point whereby organisations need to shift their strategies and have a new, proactive approach to their cybersecurity, according to a report by 451 Research.

Hurdles that organizations need to overcome to successfully shift their strategies

These were identified as:

• A profusion of tools and data that complicates – and too often, frustrates – an effective strategy
• An over-reliance on people to resolve security issues, and the unsustainable business model it represents
• A “one size fits all” mentality that leads to tools and processes insufficiently flexible to serve real-world people and processes – and too often leaves security poorly aligned with business realties
• Lopsided investments in reactive measures that too often result from these failures.
