The cyber threat has evolved and matured. Safeguards and defences constructed only a few years ago are no longer able to detect, mitigate and respond comprehensively to the emerging threat landscape.
This means there have been many high profile attacks where an approach has gone undetected, or an alert has been generated but not dealt with promptly. Consequently, cyber-attackers have been able to operate at will for long periods of time before finally being detected.
Traditional security operations only protect against predictable threats. Effective cyber defence against sustained threats now require advanced security operations, threat intelligence and incident response capabilities – but, thanks to BAE Systems, it can be done.
