Security teams face a critical challenge: daily alert volumes are overwhelming their capacity to respond. From 2020 to 2023, alerts not investigated jumped from 37% to 54% — a crisis that persists despite increased security spending. The solution isn't throwing more money or tools at the problem.

This whitepaper from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, shows how breaking down walls between cybersecurity and IT operations teams can transform cyber defense. Commissioned by Pure Storage, it reveals how organizations can build resilience through team integration, modern architectures, and streamlined workflows — aligned with NIST's 2.0 cybersecurity framework.

Key learnings:

• The silent crisis: Why security teams are drowning in alerts despite increased budgets
• Breaking the silos: How merging cybersecurity and IT ops teams creates better cyber resilience
• The insurance factor: Why better team collaboration could slash your cyber insurance premiums
• Speed as a weapon: How unified teams can slash incident response times and recovery periods
• The NIST blueprint: A practical guide to implementing the NIST 2.0 framework for maximum resilience
• Future-proofing: Why traditional security approaches are becoming obsolete in the age of AI and cloud transformation
