Chapter 1. Enterprise Security Overview
Today's enterprise security approach is the product of an elaborate façade created by for-profit security vendors and outdated perimeter-focused security architecture. The focus has been shifted from protecting assets to guarding the network edge, while data continues to be exfiltrated, and data breaches are at an all-time high. This shift in focus has created a cat-and-mouse game of securing the enterprise from the latest threats at the expense of our budgets, network infrastructure, creditability, and maybe sanity. In response, we have self-imposed several challenges in the security industry and created a roadblock perception for the enterprise security team and enterprise security program. Let's reset our focus on securing what is most critical to the enterprise, its data.
This chapter will cover:
The complex façade of enterprise security
The failure of perimeter-focused security
