Research Objectives
Security analytics and operations can
be complex, requiring highly skilled
professionals and detailed processes. To
overcome these issues, security teams
tend to deploy an array of security
analytics tools and technologies to
collect, process, analyze, and act upon
growing volumes of security telemetry.
Despite this investment, however, many
organizations continue to find it difficult to
manage cyber risk or detect and respond
to cyber incidents.

How can CISOs address these issues and
develop effective security analytics and
operations processes? In order to get more
insight into these trends, ESG surveyed
406 IT and cybersecurity professionals
at organizations in North America (U.S.
and Canada) involved with the planning,
implementation, and/or operations of their
organization’s information security policies,
processes (including purchase decisions),
or technical safeguards and familiar
with their organization’s collection and/
or analysis of security data in support of
information security management strategy.
This study sought to:
Determine current strategies used for
security analytics and operations.
Identify how security analytics and
operations challenges are affecting
organizations’ ability to monitor cyber
risks and detect/respond to cyber-attacks.
Understand the impact of using public
cloud resources for processing and storing
data on security analytics and operations
technology decisions.
Uncover future enterprise security
analytics and operations strategies
and plans. ◊
