“If you spend more time on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked. What’s more, you deserve to be hacked.”
Richard Clarke, Whitehouse Cyber Security Advisor
Six Outcomes
#6. Integration. When all InfoSec processes work as intended from end to end.
#5. Measuring Performance. When all InfoSec processes are monitored and measured to make sure they acheive their goals.
