CISOs today occupy a uniquely pivotal role in the enterprise. They’re not just defending systems, they’re preserving brand reputation, enabling secure digital transformation, and ensuring operational continuity.

There is no doubt that a high rate of threat detection is a crucial indicator of success for a security system. Detecting 100% of active threats would seem to be the hallmark of an ideal security solution.
