Outrunning the Bear: 5 critical ways to take a more collaborative approach to IT security

Studies show the average time to resolve a security breach once detected is more than 45 days, and companies lose more than $1.6 million during that time. The obstacles to faster response include lack of resources and an inability to effectively communicate and collaborate among the multiple teams and tools larger enterprises rely on for protection.

This white paper examines the "outrun the bear" approach prevalent in IT security: you don't have to outrun the hackers; you just have to outrun other companies. It examines the challenges inhibiting faster response, and it offers five critical steps organization can take to turn security intelligence into action.
