From detection to response: Why confidence is the real game changer
Why network visibility is the flashlight: The ESG study makes this clear: Network visibility isn’t just another layer of detection. It’s the lens that turns noise into knowledge. Packets capture everything attackers do”, every beacon, every lateral move, every exfiltration attempt. That means analysts can quickly validate alerts, scope exposure, and move with precision when minutes matter.And contrary to the…
