The importance of being prepared for breaches grows with the constant evolutionary nature of costly cybersecurity attacks. According to the latest research from Enterprise Security Group (ESG), a vast majority of the organizations believe that they follow best practices for security hygiene and posture management, but only 47% consider security control testing a best practice for ongoing risk and posture assessment. The increasing complexity of the modern security stack only compounds this challenge as vulnerabilities in each security control open up a potential new opportunity for an attacker to breach the organization.
