How to shift security investment toward proactive risk reduction, covering attack surface management, exposure prioritization, and the business case for preventing breaches before they happen rather than containing them after.

While much of the focus remains on real-time cyber defense, a growing trend emphasizes proactive security measures to prevent attacks before they happen.
