Consolidate

From that same ESG research we learn that a
majority of cybersecurity organizations are
aiming to consolidate their operation as part of
their incident response procedure, and for good
reason. Focusing your already limited workforce
of cybersecurity analysts is essential, and
driving efficiency within your incident response
platform via consolidating security alerts is
another way to do exactly that.

your incident response procedure. By efficiently
integrating threat intelligence with your own
existing tools and analysis procedures, you are
creating a broader picture through which you and
your team can operate within a security
orchestration framework. Integrating your
existing tools, making sure each tool has a
relevant benefit and re-educating yourself on
their core functionality is a key step in
understanding where your current security posture.
