According to the annual report from CheckPoint , by mid-2022 the threat of cybercrime increased by 32% compared to 2021. More than a thousand attacks occur every week and most of them strike the Education/Research, Government/Military, Healthcare, Finance/Banking, Utilities, and Manufacturing. In a CheckPoint report, every week 1 in 40 organizations are affected by ransomware - a 59% increase compared to 2021 when only 1 in 62 organizations.
Cyberattacks are growing and getting more sophisticated that every organization needs to protect itself. However, if the organization uses outdated and too many technologies (the so-called frankencloud model) it will present its own challenges.
The Frankencloud model and its risks
The term "Frankencloud" is taken from the Frankenstein story because of the similar assembly method. Cybersecurity teams are forced to use and rely on dozens of disconnected cybersecurity vendors. According to Techcrunch , the average uses 25-49 pieces of software from 10 different vendors. This creates a blind spot in the security system because there is no comprehensive view of the threats that will be received.
Currently, many companies are switching from traditional methods to store data in the cloud . As a result, companies are adopting more and more software to protect their cloud and other digital assets. This has created many gaps in the security structure and can increase spending on extra protection.
Cloud computing has brought many benefits and innovations, but the attacks on SolarWinds in 2020 have taught us that dependence on different technological tools can be a weak point in an enterprise.
SolarWinds is a large company from Oklahoma that provides applications for computer networks to connect to each other. The SolarWinds tool is widely used by network administrators to manage networks on a regular basis. SolarWinds can monitor, serve, store data, and control all activities across a computer network. One of their products, Orion, has access to various IT systems.
More than 30,000 public and private organizations, including local, state/federal agencies use the Orion network. At the time of the attack on SolarWinds, these hackers managed to access the data and network of this Orion customer. The attack on SolarWinds is billed as the largest of the 21st century because it leverages a vast and intermingled supply chain of technologies
All-in-One Cybersecurity Platform Benefits
The cybersecurity platform is designed to allow any organization to integrate security visibility, analysis and control across its multiple security layers. The platform aims to simplify and automate workflows across endpoints, cloud, network, and applications. Therefore, a complete cybersecurity platform is designed to bring together disparate security tools without sacrificing performance, protection, scalability, and innovation.
There are at least 5 benefits of an all-in-one platform, namely:
1. Ensuring integrated security controls across the organization
The decentralized approach to security infrastructure results in a lack of visibility because there are multiple vendors. However, having an all-in-one platform will reduce the complexity and complexity of cybersecurity protection.
Studies from IBM show the number of security tools organizations use have a negative impact on their organizations. Organizations using more than 50 security software will rank themselves 8% lower in ability to detect cyberthreats and 7% lower in ability to respond to attacks than those using fewer tools.
2. Provide seamless interaction between various solutions
Using a single platform makes it possible for your company to deploy security tools run by a single vendor. This will help the cybersecurity team to monitor the company's overall data. No more dealing with unrelated cybersecurity tools, no more redundancies, missed alerts and other complexities as it all runs through a single platform.
3. Save costs and time
Using a single platform eliminates the huge costs of using multiple cybersecurity tools and other unnecessary operational costs. In addition, it can help optimize operational efficiency and speed up response to security changes or in the event of an attack.
4. Always updated cyber security technology
With an all-in-one platform, users can easily get the latest cybersecurity updates and patch management to apply with them to ensure you receive the latest version of the software. No more software that is not updated.
5. Provides a faster threat response
Increasing adoption of digital platforms and cloud computing has developed cyber attacks. Therefore, businesses need a complete and simplified cybersecurity solution that protects their organization's vulnerable assets and data from sophisticated cyberthreats. All in one service platform will help consolidate protection, reporting, monitoring, detection and termination of violations more quickly.
