Until very recently, security threats in organizations could be managed with a limited number of solutions comprehensively addressing risks with a high success rate.
Unfortunately, times have not only changed, but they continue to do so at tremendous speed. This fact has generated a technological impulse that has given cyberattacks a critical higher level of importance on which both the business operation and its growth hinge.
As a consequence, security is no longer limited to technological solutions, it also needs qualified personnel and adequate response mechanisms if effectiveness is on-demand at all times. This is what makes the security organizational architecture a determining element for business enablement/progress, and for that reason, their demands must be met satisfactorily and vigorously.

This is a calculation fault that can result in significant economic losses over time, factor it in.
Have a solid and complete incident response plan and optimize its times
One of the most common reasons why response times to incidents are long in some companies is due to the fact that there are solutions from different suppliers that do not communicate with each other properly or not at all. This is why it is imperative to maintain simple and clear communication channels between each point.
