Security operations (SecOps) is one of the most critical elements of a successful security team. SecOps is responsible for detection, investigation, and response to attackers, and it serves as the pipeline for new talent into the broader team. Given its importance, it’s critical for organizations to know how their SecOps team compares to industry averages — but this comparison is difficult given limited data. This report benchmarks data from Forrester’s Security Survey, 2022, on security team focus, skill-set challenges, SecOps tooling, and budget changes.
