Instead of regional challenges, we see vertical-specific hurdles. Certain industries, like education, often struggle with budget constraints and end up investing in tools that may not provide the most effective solutions. When they assemble a traditional stack with SIEMs and other similar tools, they often exhaust their resources without investing in the solutions that truly work.
Compliance-heavy verticals, such as healthcare and federal sectors, face their own unique challenges.
While they have stringent cybersecurity requirements, the prescribed methods often emphasize compliance over effectiveness.
The challenges in implementing new technologies are not so much geographical, as they are industry specific.
The key is to strike a balance between meeting compliance requirements and investing in effective security measures.
