Your network is under siege. It’s not personal — it’s just a fact of life today that all companies, regardless of size or industry, are under constant assault from cyber attackers. Every device or node accessible from the public internet is constantly bombarded. You need 24/7 security monitoring to know when your network is breached or your data is compromised, but it can be overwhelming to try and separate the signal from the noise to find the threats that need attention.
Addressing the Evolving Threat Landscape
Cybersecurity never sleeps. The internet operates 24/7, and so does the threat landscape. While attackers may rest, their automated tools and sophisticated infrastructures work tirelessly, probing for vulnerabilities and launching attacks around the clock. Armed with an ever-growing arsenal of advanced tools and frameworks, cybercriminals can effortlessly scale their operations, making no device truly off-limits.
Defending against the relentless onslaught of cyberattacks can feel daunting. Investing in the right tools is only the beginning. True protection requires the expertise to implement and fine-tune those tools for maximum effectiveness — identifying real threats while minimizing false alarms. Equally critical is having the skills to analyze and evaluate cybersecurity events, pinpointing genuine incidents that demand immediate action. Without this combination of technology and talent, organizations risk being unprepared in the face of ever-evolving threats.
Implementing the right tools and hiring the right people to manage cybersecurity can be costly — and that assumes you can even find the right talent to hire. Cybersecurity currently has zero percent unemployment with an estimated 500,000 unfilled roles. Cybersecurity talent is in high demand, which means those with the right skills can demand a premium.
At Alert Logic, we redefine cybersecurity with unmatched visibility. By monitoring customers worldwide around the clock, we provide our analysts with a comprehensive view of emerging threats. When one customer is targeted, we detect, respond, and protect — applying the solution across all customers to stop threats before they spread. Greater visibility isn’t just an advantage; it’s the key to staying secure.
The Human Touch
Having the right tools in place to detect and identify threats as early as possible is essential, but the human touch is also crucial. Tethering threat detection to an intelligence capability allows you to identify and react to critical threats quickly.
Alert Logic processed 18 trillion — with a “T” — log messages in 2018. That’s 18 trillion log messages that were stored, processed, and searchable in our systems by our security analysts and customers. Those 18 trillion log messages resulted in 2.8 billion IDS (intrusion detection system) events—an average of 89 events every second of the year. Alert Logic security analysts evaluate and respond to roughly 3,500 cybersecurity incidents per week—all investigated by an actual human being and analyzed within the context of the unique customer infrastructure.
