Ian Moore: Cyber Ghost Stories and other things that keep us awake at night
Descriptions
“Cyber-attacks are what nightmares are made of, at least for security professionals and executives. We lose sleep worrying about our employees clicking on links or attachments and our network becoming infected. We do whatever our budget can handle and we perform tasks for the level of skill and understanding that we have. No organization is perfect, regardless of their budget and skillset.
