"How can a worldwide company with billions in revenue and an even larger market cap not have a CISO? It boggles the mind," Phil Blank, an analyst in the security, risk and fraud practice area at Javelin Strategy & Research, wrote on the market research firm's blog in May."If you spend more on coffee than you spend on IT security, then you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked." -- Richard Clarke Anybody want to guess what Sony's coffee/itsec ratio was?
Its amazing a company with chronic security problems was able to operate without a CISO for so long (cf, http://attrition.org/security/rants/sony_aka_sownage.html). _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
