”It’s taking security professionals 38 percent of their time to gather metrics manually for reporting,” he says. “The result is that 89 percent of executives aren’t getting the information they need to measure security to make business decisions.”

  • The relation between visibility, metrics and management;
  • Orchestration and putting together a holistic picture of risk;
  • Key industry drivers in 2020.
