Through the seemingly never-ending onslaught of security breaches making headlines day after day, we are learning that the most intrusive and harmful attacks are actually the ones related to low-level security holes.
The only thing that will counteract this trend is to make security a priority. We are most likely all aware of security’s importance, but all too often, it is brushed aside to make room for more speed and agility. Don’t get me wrong, speed and agility in our data centers is important, but if it comes at the expense of security, we need to rethink things and keep the cost of a data breach top of mind.
