Also, risk within an environment should be weighted based on the type of system and what data it houses. If a small part of the environment gets breached, what risk does it pose? 

New  security solutions allow a facility to find the root cause of a breach. An analytics approach can examine failures within the network related to configurations, patch levels and updates.
