“One of the most dangerous things for a security professional is what you think you know”

Keith Palmgren, SANS Senior Instructor

Data breaches and organizations being hacked have become part of the daily news, But why is that? Why do some organizations get broken into and others do not.The problem is they are doing good things but not the right things. Good things will lay a solid foundation but the right things will stop your organization from being headline news in the Wall Street Journal. Do you know what those best practices are? Because as a cyber defender you need to be right 100% of the time. Those bad guys only need to be right once.
