Obviously, their approach to security depends on where the business is already positioned, in terms of its security journey, and different markets face different challenges in this regard, notes Jason Oehley, Regional Sales Manager for Arctic Wolf SA.

“For example, a key concern in the small and medium enterprise (SME) space is that businesses here find it cost-prohibitive and complex to build a 24/7 security operations centre, which means they are often left utilising point security solutions instead. At the enterprise level, they may have such an internal security environment, but face the twin challenges of the high cost of the many security tools required for this to function correctly, as well as difficulty in obtaining the human resources for this.
