Gartner® 3 Ways to Apply a Risk-Based Approach to Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response

Security and risk management leaders are tasked with instituting detection and response capabilities in an environment where understanding the context of your organizational risks and how to mitigate them is paramount. As per our understanding, in Gartner® 3 Ways to Apply a Risk-Based Approach to Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response, Gartner analysts offer recommendations for fostering constructive dialogue between security leaders and executives to better understand the breadth and scope of an organization’s risk; speeding up investigation and response capabilities through better alignment with business priorities; and implementing the right tools to provide a layered contextual approach that goes beyond the weaving of point solutions.

The report highlights three specific recommendations:

• Better Alignment for Clearer Objectives:
  “Break through the silos and open dialogue by establishing a quorum of business leaders to openly discuss cybersecurity and its requirements.”

• Integrated Risk Context:
  “Reduce unnecessary delays in investigation by ensuring that threat detection use cases are fully enriched with internal business context at the point which alerts are generated.”

• The Right Tools:
  “Enable incident responders to make effective prioritization and response decisions by centrally recording asset-based and business-level risk information.”
