Why VisibleOps Cybersecurity Should Be Your Next Read for Cybersecurity Strategy
“Decades ago, when I stepped out from behind the concertina wire at NSA to share with the public, it was clear to me that successful cyber-defense is not a tool, a threat feed, good processes, or training. It’s all of these and more, composed into a defensive machine – one that’s fueled by information, and optimized for speed, visibility, and continuous improvement. In VisibleOps Cybersecurity, these foundational elements are combined with strategies for cyber-defense to create a roadmap for holistic and effective security improvement.
