COMMON CHALLENGES
Having the tools
is different from using them effectively.
Even when the necessary features are available, they cannot provide adequate protection without a team and processes for ongoing configuration, monitoring, and review.
Devices and Alerts Lack Visibility
There is no clear view of managed devices or patch status, and no one is assigned to review and respond to security notifications.
External Requests Are Difficult to Address
When business partners or insurers ask about your security controls, you may be unable to provide documented evidence or measurable results.
