FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Network Security
Security Metrics are critical for our ability to do better at our jobs, to quantify where we are succeeding and to measure what works, and how well it's working.
Focusing more on availability-based attacks, the security friction surfaces are now wider than ever, and much more dynamic for enterprises, cloud service providers and carrier organizations.
Enterprises must find the right balance to deliver a mobile security environment that meets productivity and flexibility needs without putting devices, apps, or data at risk.
The concepts of defense in depth have been with us for years -- hundreds of years, if not thousands. Maybe we can learn something from those architects of warfare from the Middle Ages?
Without the elements of prevention, detection, and protection all working together, threat actors will always have the advantage, and will find a way to carry out their illicit economic, political or social agendas.
Security metrics a topic that I don't think we, as a community, have a particularly good grasp of – probably because security, as a field, is only just beginning to professionalize to the point where it's getting more than a nod as a necessary evil.
Open source is a valuable tool for defenders as they work to close these gaps and to gather greater intelligence about potential threats to make better decisions and take action.
Every security team that can fog a mirror is asking the question “what just happened at Target, and how do we make sure that doesn’t happen to us?”
Most organizations today lack the tools and processes to assess and prioritize risks and vulnerabilities from the business perspective and end up defaulting to one of three approaches.
A combination of new threat actors, new attack approaches, and new masking tactics demand that enterprises redefine malware, and make all necessary investments in people, technology and systems to stay one step ahead.
