It's only a matter of time before an attacker successfully infiltrates your organization, but that doesn't have to be a disaster if you can respond quickly and adequately. It's all about setting up security teams that can act in a structured and effective way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prevention is better than cure, but not all security incidents can be prevented because the attack surface is so large. Think of an IT environment as a fortified city: the guards have to monitor the entire wall around the city, but an attacker only needs one weak spot in that long wall to enter. When you translate that to the large and diverse surface area of endpoints, systems and applications that IT has to deal with, it's clear that it's virtually impossible to fully protect the walls. It's better to detect when the enemy has passed the wall so you can take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is sometimes said that these days there are only two types of organizations: companies that have been hacked and companies that do not yet know that they have been hacked.

You need to know what happened, what lessons you can learn from it, what the next steps are and how you can prevent it from happening again\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
