10 Things That Used to be Good Ideas in Data Security

Data security has two objectives and only two: To keep our company’s assets safe from improper users, and to make it available to the proper ones.
We continually make the same human nature mistakes again and again in pursuit of these two deceptively complex objectives. In 10 Things that Used to be Good Ideas in Data Security, author Mike Winkler discusses how we let old ideas, some of which used to be good, keep us from making the right decisions; social inertia meets the pace of unending change. Data sec is a huge puzzle; a puzzle in which the edges keep moving, the shapes of the pieces change, and no matter how good or fast we are, the puzzle will never be finished in time, because it is never finished.
