Criteria for Proactive Security — Business Drivers for Proactive Security

Risk is a business constant, something that you’ll never be able to eliminate. Instead of focusing on completely security risks entirely, you might consider asking yourself whether your IT security is mature enough to mitigate risks and resilient enough to respond to changes in the threat landscape. At the same time, your security technology stack needs to align with your company’s business goals. It’s like Goldilocks dilemma. You don’t want something too small because you might not be able to detect a security incident. You don’t need something too big because it might be outside your budget or your team’s experience.
