Security Teams Are Ready To Become More Preemptive. What’s Holding Them Back?
Rapid7's survey of security leaders reveals that while organizations recognize the need for more proactive security operations, most remain in transition with fragmented tools, partial integration across capabilities, and limited confidence in threat prevention. Only 10% of respondents describe their operations as highly proactive, and 57% operate in hybrid internal and managed detection and response (MDR) models to extend coverage. AI adoption is still in early stages at 52% of organizations, with security teams prioritizing trust and transparency over rapid implementation.
Why it matters: Security practitioners evaluating their own operations should assess whether fragmented tool integration and reactive postures expose their organizations to preventable breaches, and consider whether hybrid MDR models and deliberate AI adoption strategies can improve threat detection speed and analyst efficiency.

Security Teams Are Ready To Become More Preemptive. What’s Holding Them Back?
Rapid7's Global Security Summit survey reveals that security teams want to shift toward proactive threat prevention but face structural obstacles. Most organizations operate in a hybrid internal and managed detection and response (MDR) model, with two-thirds reporting only partial integration across their security tools and 10% describing themselves as highly proactive. Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption remains in early stages, with security leaders prioritizing trust and transparency as they evaluate AI for triage and alert enrichment.
Why it matters: Security practitioners should recognize that partial tool integration and reactive postures remain industry norms, making the business case for consolidation and automation stronger; investment in AI governance and transparency mechanisms will differentiate organizations moving toward operational maturity.
