Seems like security incidents are occurring more often with mild to significant impact on consumers and various organizations, such as Target and Sony.
Referring to the Verizon Data Breach Report year after year confirms that incident response times to such incidents are increasing, rather than decreasing, with root cause identification of the problems not occurring for months after the security incident in many cases. This can cause a pessimistic view among many security teams, however, there are a lot of good things happening in the security space that I want to share with you.
