Breaches are no longer a possibility—they’re a certainty. According to Forrester’s Security Survey, 78% of organizations experienced a breach in the last year, so the question isn’t if but how often. Security teams are overwhelmed by noisy tools, faulty vulnerability assessments, and scattered processes. These challenges lead to slow responses and missed critical vulnerabilities.
This Forrester report introduces the Three Principles of Proactive Security: Visibility, Prioritization, and Remediation. Visibility ensures that organizations have a clear understanding of their assets and vulnerabilities, both internally and externally. Prioritization helps security teams focus on the risks that matter most, filtering out noise and highlighting critical vulnerabilities. Remediation streamlines processes, enabling swift and effective threat resolution to minimize exposure time. Together, these principles provide a framework for shifting security programs from reactive to proactive, driving outcomes such as reduced risk, improved alignment, and stronger overall defenses.
