A large number of false-positive warnings have slowed down many network administrators. Single-event threats have progressed from single-event threats triggered by keywords or specific user behavior to single-event threats that are part of a coordinated assault effort. These efforts are carried out by well-funded, well-trained, and well-motivated organizations that are able to circumvent typical security safeguards in the environment.

As a result, the organization's risk posture has risen dramatically, as the administrators are completely unaware of the threats. Attack campaigns using different tools and approaches will overwhelm the company's administrators and analysts if the defense is not set up in a coordinated manner.

In the security threat landscape, the rules have changed.

Detection and response are the security postures of today. The perimeter has lost its status as the most secure part of a network. It's no longer a viable risk-mitigation strategy.

To address our customers' pain points in this area, Digital Switch has partnered with leading Network Behavioral Analysis vendors who focus on user behavior in the environment, equipping them with advanced tools and visibility, advanced techniques, dealing with noise more predictably, becoming more effective at finding the "signal," and the use of analytics. We also work with companies that have a track record of providing global shared threat intelligence.
