| Summary |
Today, most companies are either completely hacked or could easily be hacked. Things are so bad that traditional defenses are operating under an assumption of "Assume Breach." The truth is that most companies are not doing the right things in the right places, making it easier for hackers and malware to infiltrate an organization than it needs to be. Most companies are highly inefficient at computer security defense, and wonder why they are still so easily hackable while at the same time throwing ever growing amounts of capital, resources, and people at the problem. It doesn't have to be this way. [This book] describes what's wrong with the current defenses and how they got this way. It then tells how to create a better, more efficient defense where remediations are right-aligned against the biggest threats they are supposed to defeat, with prescriptive guidance. The guidance is then followed by real-life examples of what other companies have done to get a better, data-driven defense. After you read [this book] you'll never think about computer security the same way again"--Page [4] of cover. |
