Maturity of Security Operations Processes 2022 [Infographic]

Posted November 8, 2022

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, cybersecurity efforts must follow suit. With security
operations teams at the core of defending against threats, organizations must ensure they can handle
anything that comes their way. To be effective, you need to mature your Security Operations (SecOps)
capabilities to stop threats early — before damage occurs.

Whether the security operations team is in-house or outsourced, maturing security operations
capabilities will help companies achieve a faster mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to
respond (MTTR) to threats.

Gartner Peer Insights and Watchguard surveyed 100 information security leaders at organizations with
security operations processes in place to understand the varying maturity levels of different
organizations’ security operations capabilities. See how your security operations capabilities stack up below.

The overall average SecOps Maturity of the companies surveyed is 2.51 out of 4.

Data collection: June 8 – July 29, 2022 Respondents: 100 MSP/SOC directors and managers.
