When it comes to security, where are the weaknesses? Some say it’s the human variable. Others point to the difficulty of having to protect 100% of assets on a 24/7 basis. Still others argue that it’s virtually impossible to keep pace with the sophistication of attackers, who don’t play by the same rules. There’s some truth to all of these – and other perspectives. The question is, how can businesses successfully protect their networks and data? This panel will examine to what extent human error is to blame for breaches, and how much is due to ineffective processes and supporting technology – and what businesses must do to protect their assets.
