Hot Take:

It seems that many organizations are treating their logging measures like their gym memberships - they've signed up, but aren't really using them. Sophos reported that a whopping 42% didn't have the necessary telemetry logs to analyze a security event. It's like trying to solve a murder mystery without any clues. And the culprits? Cybercriminals, of course, who are wiping out logs faster than an angry lumberjack. The absence of logs can also indicate a cover-up by the organization itself. Now, that's a plot twist!
