Defense in depth: It’s more than just the technology

By Jason Urso

The biggest cybersecurity vulnerability could very well be a belief—the belief that a cybersecurity system, even a good one, is guaranteed to stop every threat, every time. This is simply not true. Due to ever-changing cybersecurity threats, a cybersecurity program must be designed to be regularly updated and periodically reviewed. In many ways, this approach for cybersecurity is similar to what we do in industrial plants when we define and design our safety systems and culture. Like safety, we do not want failures in cybersecurity to impact our manufacturing process, our people, the environment, or our corporate image.
