Rethinking what it means to win in security

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"

Overall, Michael makes some great points, and we like the risk-based approach and agree with applying a sense of economics to cybersecurity (i.e. don't spend $100 to protect $1).  

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