“We’re seeing a rise in regulatory pressure from a cyber perspective with mandates and guidance like the PCI-DSS and NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Adhering to those kinds of requirements and frameworks will factor into companies’ overall risk management mandates. Enterprises are increasingly leveraging risk analytics to effectively gather supporting information from multiple security data sources in order to quantify their cyber risks, automate their security operations, and make intelligence-driven decisions in response to those cyber risks to their business. The overall risk analytics market needs to account for cyber as one of the key parameters and addressable markets driving the new digital transformation in enterprises,” Feris Rifai, CEO at Bay Dynamics, told Help Net Security.
