Incorporating a Prevention Mindset into Threat Detection and ResponseThreat detection and response systems, by definition, are reactive because they have to wait for damage to be done before finding the attack. With a prevention-mindset, security teams can proactively anticipate the attacker's next move, rather than reacting to specific threats or trying to detect the latest techniques in real-time.
The report covers areas enterprises should focus on:
What positive response looks like.
Improving security hygiene.
Combining preventive actions with red team efforts.

We find that one of the best ways to increase overall employee engagement in the organization's security program, is to find ways to promote proactive behavior through gamification, management involvement, and meaningful KPIs KRIs built around the reaction/interaction to threats and potential threats. For example, when it comes to simulated phishing - instead of looking at click through rates as the key metric, organizations can focus on the proactive reporting of threats and the "see something, do something mentality" in order to create a more positive experience overall, thus improving employee willingness to engage in good habits, behavior and ultimately, changing one's identity with a more proactive inherent scrutiny in how they process and respond to information. Organizations who traditionally kneejerk enroll employees immediately after failing a phishing test tend to promote an adversarial relationship between IT and the work force. Although click through rates can provide some meaning information about areas of risk, incentives around the promotion of proactive behavior and employees becoming proactive cybersecurity citizens is one of the best ways to enhance engagement across a security awareness program and empower employees and teams to identify and stop threats.
