In today’s threat-filled digital ecosystem, being one step ahead of attackers is no longer a luxury—it’s a requirement. Yet, 81% of security leaders report being pushed by regulations and business needs to move toward a preventative approach, even as they struggle with outdated tools and reactive processes.
As the Chief Evangelist at Team Cymru, David Monnier has guided many CISOs through this transition—from being incident-focused to adopting a forward-thinking security mindset. Here are five high-impact ways to make that shift:
1. Prioritize a Threat-Based Security Approach
You can’t secure everything equally. Instead, assess which parts of your organization are most at risk and most critical to business continuity. Focus your efforts on systems actively being targeted or previously compromised. This approach ensures your defenses align with real-world threats and operational priorities.
2. Embrace Continuous Monitoring
Attackers no longer wait—and neither should your detection systems. Weekly scans are outdated. Implement always-on monitoring, continuous asset discovery, and real-time vulnerability scans to ensure immediate visibility into your threat landscape.
