Gartner® report: Reduce Threat Exposure With Security Controls Optimization
Strategic guidance on improving security posture and maximizing the value of your existing tools, without adding more to the stack.
Read it today
Security teams are managing increasingly complex technology stacks, often with overlapping tools and siloed operations. Despite significant investment, 61% of security leaders have experienced a breach due to failed or misconfigured controls in the past year (2025 Security Leader’s Peer Report).
We learn from Gartner report that the root cause often lies in a lack of visibility into control effectiveness. The solution? A smarter, more outcome-driven approach to reducing threat exposure: continuous security controls optimization.
What you will learn
- Why misconfigurations still drive successful attacks
- Aligning optimization with business goals and risk
- Using Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs) to measure effectiveness
- Real-world outcomes: better prevention, less tool sprawl
Why it matters
According to Gartner®, many organizations focus too heavily on whether controls are simply in place, rather than whether they’re actually working as intended. The report recommends using Outcome-Driven Metrics (ODMs) to shift the focus to measurable effectiveness. With 80% of Gartner® recommended ODMs available out-of-the-box in the Panaseer platform, you can immediately start tracking and optimizing the outcomes that matter most. Book a demo to find out how.
