What it means to be secure
What does it really mean to be secure? A holistic perspective on digital security beyond technical tools — for businesses and individuals alike.
While there is an entire industry focused on how to steal information at scale, and they enjoy a decent success rate, can we really establish anything close to real security? If so, it will take the collective effort of an entire industry. Developers create about 383000 new malware variations each day. Only 8% of incidents are identified by the firewall and network solutions. And it seams to be getting worse. Worldwide $70 billion were spend in 2014 to prevent or stop threats, but the bad actors made at least $300 billion. Crime seams to pay a lot. Security breaches cost more than $1 trillion annually.
