ABSTRACT

Even in the most secure organizations, information security threats and vulnerabilities are increasing over time. Vulnerabilities are increasing with the complexity of internal infrastructures; complex structures have more single points of failure, and this in turn increases the risk of multiple simultaneous failures. Organizations are adopting new, untried, and partially tested products at ever-increasing rates. Vendors and internal developers alike are relearning the security lessons of the past-one at a time, painful lesson by painful lesson.
