MILFORD, Mass. -- The Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), a leading information technology (IT) analyst firm focused on information storage, security and management, today announced the availability of a new research report, Security Management Matures, a unique research study that examines the security management policies, procedures, and technologies at large organizations. ESG undertook this research project to assess how large organizations are managing security threats and to determine how security management practices complement regulatory compliance and IT operations efforts.
The new report is based upon a survey of 207 Information Security professionals responsible for evaluating, purchasing, and operating security management technologies at North American-based public and private organizations. Respondent organizations ranged in size from 1,000 to over 20,000 employees. The 49-page report includes data analysis presented in 35 figures and 9 tables.
The report uncovers an important trend: To analyze security events, regulatory compliance controls, and IT operations, large organizations are collecting a significant amount of log file data from security appliances, networking devices, and applications. Todays log data capacity will pale in comparison to impending requirements however, the report finds that large organizations will collect, store and analyze more log data from more sources in the very near future. For example:
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
