Many security teams are prioritizing prevention over detection, with disastrous results
Sahu News
Researchers at Exabeam surveyed 500 IT security professionals, finding roughly two-thirds of the respondents (65%) prioritize prevention as their number one endpoint security (opens in new tab) goal.

For a third (33%) â detection was the highest priority.

To make matters even worse â the businesses are actually acting on this thinking. Almost three-quarters (71%) spend between 21% and 50% of their IT security budgets on prevention, while 59% invest the same amount as they do for detection, investigation, and response.

When asked if they are sure they can prevent attacks, most respondents answered positively. In fact, 97% said they felt confident in their tools and processes, to prevent and identify intrusions and data breaches.

However, when asked if theyâd easily tell their boss their networks werenât breached at the time, just 62% would say yes, meaning more than a third had their doubts.

In other words, Exabeam says, security teams are overconfident and has data to back it up. Citing industry reports, the company claims 83% of organizations experienced more than one data breach last year.
