20 Endpoint Security Questions You Never Thought to Ask

As you're all aware by now, I love a good game of 20 questions.  This month's installment of the 20 questions series deals with endpoint.  My latest DarkReading piece discusses: http://www.darkreading.com/endpoint/20-endpoint-security-questions-you-never-thought-to-ask-/a/d-id/1327305?.  I think you'll find the piece useful, and perhaps interesting as well.

Collection, Sensing, and Alerting: Yesterday's News

Security has evolved to the point that I can now say that collection, sensing, and alerting are yesterday’s news. How can I make such a provocative statement? Wikipedia. Confused? That’s certainly understandable. I explain in my latest SecurityWeek piece: http://www.securityweek.com/collection-sensing-and-alerting-yesterdays-news.

Analytics is What's Next for Detection

Analytics, when done correctly, stands to be the next frontier for detection.  It's a logical evolution from signature-based and detonation-based detection.  Curious what I mean by that?  My latest piece in The Business Journals discusses: http://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/how-to/technology/2016/10/how-to-keep-pace-with-evolving-online-attackers.html.  I hope you find the piece thought provoking.

Want better security? Be a pragmatist.

What does being a pragmatist have to do with improving the security posture of an organization?  I discuss that exact question in my latest SecurityWeek piece: http://www.securityweek.com/want-better-security-be-pragmatist.  If you are a pragmatist, have you ever felt alone, or perhaps even ridiculed in the security world?  You are far from alone.  Have a look at the piece to see what I mean by that.

Anyone interested in another game of 20 questions?

It's time for another game of 20 questions.  The last installment was around analytics.  This time, we're exploring security-as-a-service offerings.  Interested in playing another game of 20 questions?  Have a look at my latest DarkReading piece on the topic: http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities---threats/20-questions-to-explore-with-security-as-a-service-providers/a/d-id/1327101?.  Hope you enjoy.
