Security isn’t a game…

March 29, 2008 · Filed Under Business, Technology 

My friend, Corey, had an interesting post over at Office Product News contending that most C-level executives do not see security as an over-arching strategy…

A common misconception is that security is simply a one-stop shop… This is just not the case. In days long gone, perimeter defenses were mostly adequate in protecting networks from severe attacks.

However, corporate IT quickly learned what one virus or trojan let loose on the internal network might do.

Today security most definitely needs to be a game of stratagem consisting of layering on levels of desktop security, server level protection, infrastructure checkpoints, perimeter walls, and constant user-level training.

Folks, eat it, live it, breath it. If you want to be cheap about things just unplug your computer from the wall, stick it in the closet, close the door, and walk away…

    • A little disclaimer...

      In this day and age, people don't seem to get that you can have an opinion of your own, and that people are entitled to a responsible opinion. As such, ChangeForge is a place for me to post opinions on various things relating to business and technology. These opinions are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of respective employers, co-workers, or those referenced within this site. If you take issue with these opinions, you are most welcome to move on to another slice of the cloud. My hope, however, is that you will engage in some level of an intellectual debate in an effort to learn something, teach me something, or simply make the world just a little better...
