The Rise of Data-Driven Security

IT security faces challenges as never before. At one end of the spectrum, industrialized exploits hammer organizations with a volume and frequency of attacks that only a few short years ago would have been unimaginable. At the other end, targeted attacks have awakened enterprises to the probability that penetration is more likely than ever.
EMA Managing Research Director, Scott Crawford, will discuss how organizations cope with these realities, manage their efforts successfully, and meet their obligations to the business. He will also provide an overview of his most recent research study of 200 medium-sized to large enterprises worldwide that highlights a trend transforming the nature of security.
