Stay Focused - Don't Be Distracted By Bright, Shiny Objects
Cisco News, Tuesday, October 10,2023
This year marks the 30th anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). You remember that phrase.the more things change, the more they stay the same?
While much has changed over the last 30 years, some things remain true.
- Cybercriminals, known for being highly opportunistic, are a mainstay in the threat space.
- Throwing the newest bright shiny objects at a problem is not a cybersecurity strategy.
This year, I had the opportunity to meet with Cisco customers, government officials, and providers of critical infrastructure across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Naturally, there are cultural and regulatory expectations that make each unique. More interesting, is how much the cybersecurity world is struggling with the same pressure and too many voices.
