The Real Cost of Manual Security Operations

More tools, processes, or people doesn’t always equal better security. In fact, the more you have to manage, the costlier it can get. But as threats evolve, technologies and processes change, and so too must security operations. If your security operations are highly manual today, this post will help you visualize what that is costing your organization, not just from a monetary standpoint, but from an efficiency and speed perspective, too. We’ll start by looking at the three major areas of secu

A Privacy Stack for Protecting Your Data

Over the years, there have been a number of incidents that have raised my security-guy neck hairs. Every time something crops up, I get a bit more worried about where my data lives, and who is privy to it that I don’t know about.
