2009-01-06 20:10:06 by Editor in Digg / Security

Outsource what you ignore

2009-01-06 12:22:45 by Editor in Adventures in Security
 
It usually doesnt make sense to hire an analyst to sit all day looking at security portals. You and your team have things to do which add more business value. But you cant afford to ignore what your controls are telling you. It isnt hard, or expensive, to fix
