Are you winning in cybersecurity? Michael Santarcangelo at CSO Online challenges us to rethink what "winning" actually means.

In the article, Michael argues:

Security is not a sprint
It's not a marathon either...
He urges us all to consider "reasonable security"
He warns us to be careful of "risk catnip"

It's a thought-provoking read and can be found here:
