What is Security Debt?

What’s this 'security debt' anyway?

Security debt is like that pile of unwashed dishes you’ve been avoiding. It accumulates over time—every un-prioritised security patch, or delayed update contributes to this growing mountain of cyber vulnerability. Just as you wouldn’t want to face the consequences of neglecting your chores, you definitely don’t want to deal with the ramifications of escalating security debt!

In essence, Security Debt is a direct result of the load put on already stretched security teams which can mean they only have time to deal with anything other than major alerts. It doesn’t mean the smaller events have gone away and the knock-on effect of that won’t be felt until another time.

Cloud SIEM to the rescue

SIEMs aren’t new, they’ve been around a while. Cloud SIEM is a dynamic and intelligent solution designed to manage and analyse your security alerts in real-time! It’s like having a highly skilled security guard who never sleeps, constantly watching over your digital empire, ensuring no unwanted trespassers

Anyway, whether you’re a “have” or “have not”, it’s always prudent to keep an eye out for progression and innovation in the technology landscape to explore what’s new with modern SIEMs and what they should be doing for you.

 

 

Fostering a secure tomorrow

By continuously addressing and preventing security threats, Cloud SIEM ensures that your security debt remains minimal, allowing you to experience the digital world with peace and confidence. It's about cultivating a secure digital landscape where you can roam freely, exploring the boundless opportunities the internet has to offer without constantly looking over your shoulder.
