Current security solutions include a wide range of viable products and services on the market, ranging from endpoint protection as the most commonly deployed solution to software-defined perimeters at the bottom end of that deployment spectrum. Note that Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intru- sion Protection Systems (IPS) both rank relatively high in this hierarchy, based on the types of threats most commonly faced by these companies. IDS and IPS typically go hand-in-hand in the selection cycle. The data also demonstrate strong links between IPS and DDoS mitigation, SIEM, and Log Man- agement as most of these companies are looking to adopt strong, comprehensive security measures. Companies looking to make changes with regard to firewall solutions are frequently looking to man- age existing firewalls (61%) or move to a cloud-based solution (41%). Choosing “outdated” as the primary concern nearly doubles the likelihood that managed firewalls will either be implemented or updated. Nearly three-fourths of the time when a firewall is added, IPS is part of the mix as well. SIEM and Log Management are also on the upswing, given that security professionals are clearly recognizing the need for advanced security management and forensics tools. Desired SIEM features include Proactive Remediation (47%), and Alert & Notify (35%). Which security products do you have in place today?
