A CISO’s Observations on Today’s Rapidly Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape

There is a troublesome disconnect between many business leaders and their cybersecurity teams. The former still believes there is such a thing as 100% security. For obvious reasons, the latter understands that “100% security” is an oxymoron.

Alternatively, business leaders must shift their thinking from totally nullifying risk (which is impossible) to managing it accordingly.
