Enterprises today dedicate 50 times more security budget to prevention than investigation tools, but is it working? According to a recent Cisco study, 45% of security leaders reported having experienced a breach costing their organization over half a million dollars.

Not only do breaches impact the bottom line, companies suffer long-term damage from customer churn, tarnished reputation, and potential compliance penalties.

What can IT do to prepare themselves for the unexpected?

Security success that goes beyond preventative measures comes down to ensuring access, visualization, and understanding of complete wire-data across the enterprise. Yet only 7% of organizations are using both packet and flow datasets due to the complexity of effectively stitching the data together into a unified, high-value dataset.
