Many disparate technologies put immense effort towards consolidating security tools -- an effort that should be spent fighting threats. The root of the security skills gap hurdle is not due to untrained experts on the frontlines but because the industry has aged in a way that requires people to solve problems, which is unscalable. In this environment, the traditional focus on infrastructure control is no longer sufficient to protect organizations' data. Instead, steps must be taken to protect data throughout its entire lifecycle, from the point that it is created, to various ways it is shared, going beyond our control into the hands of a business partner, shareholder or customer.If you ask organizations about their top objectives, you will likely hear they need to increase visibility, reduce toolsets and adopt automation to counteract the cybersecurity skills gap. And what most don't realize is that these initiatives are driven by hurdles the industry has created for itself. Thus, countless hours are spent trying to overcome limitations in a process that doesn't get any closer to thwarting threat actors. Consolidating tools, for example, is just a preservation tactic -- therein lies the problem. So, how can security professionals start reevaluating what's really going on and defend against potential threats? The race we're running is to develop cyber-defenses that prevent harmful impacts from attacks. Amidst such a scenario, finding efficient cybersecurity experts have always been a challenging task, made even more difficult by the rapidly evolving cyber threats dotting the cyber-scape that requires advanced cybersecurity expertise. Organizations need to find the best cybersecurity companies to secure their businesses. We hope this edition shows you the path to find the apt cybersecurity company suited to your needs.Let us know your thoughts!Russell Thomas Managing Editor editor@enterprisesecuritymag.com
