Discussing common coverage gaps and security shortfalls
Security shortfalls and coverage gaps are similar to risk, in that they will always happen. The key is to find a way to work around the gaps and mitigate the situation as much as possible to help your organization mature. Additionally, we’ll hear from an industry security practitioner on their experience and where their most common gaps are.
The most common gap I have seen is a lack of coverage due to a lack of logs being ingested. Security teams are in an odd position where they typically want to ingest as many logs as possible to have as much visibility as possible, even though you might not need all the logs all the time. In fact, most times, it’ll be cost-prohibitive to ingest all your logs into a SIEM tool such as Splunk or QRadar, so you’ll either have to prioritize what logs are ingested or have to use multiple different screens and tools, which makes it harder to correlate data. One way around this...
