Introducing the State of Remote Security Operations [Survey Research]

Security operations professionals are constantly being forced to adapt, whether it is to the latest threat evolution, adversary techniques or changing attack surface.

The State of Remote Security Operations report, which surveyed nearly 400 security operations professionals, sought to measure the impact of COVID-19 and ensuing work-from-home transition from the perspective of security analysts, SOC managers and others tasked with detection and response efforts within organizations.
