Recent findings indicate that 61% of security leaders have experienced breaches due to failed or misconfigured controls, despite deploying an average of 43 cybersecurity tools. This suggests that the challenge lies not in inadequate tools but in their configuration. Gartner's report emphasizes the importance of continuous validation and tuning of security tools. It highlights the necessity to shift focus from merely having tools to ensuring their effectiveness against real-world threats. Thus, evaluating control effectiveness becomes essential for cybersecurity success.
The recent Gartner® Report, Reduce Threat Exposure With Security Controls Optimization, addresses the gap between intention and outcome, acknowledging that security tools without continuous validation deliver a false sense of security.
Despite the impressive arsenal of firewalls, endpoint solutions, and identity tools, breaches are prevalent due to poor configuration and integration that fail to align with actual business risks.
