2. Deployment Maturity ∆ 2015 - 2017

Respondents indicated the deployment phase of key security technologies, and for each
solution category, the leading answer was “not planned.” Solutions included in the
Development Maturity question included:

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP):
o Deployment not planned: 24% in 2015, 29% in 2016, 37% in 2017
• Identity and Access Management (IAM):
o Deployment not planned: 26% in 2015, 32% in 2016, 29% in 2017
• Privileged Identity Management (PIM):
o Deployment not planned: 28% in 2015, 42% in 2016, 35% in 2017
• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM):
o Deployment not planned: 32% in 2015, 36% in 2016, 29% in 2017
• User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA):
o Deployment not planned 49% in 2016, 44% in 2017

Of those five security technologies, IAM and SIEM were the most widely accepted/deployed at
this time, while, unsurprisingly, UEBA is the least mature.
