Businesses are often encouraged to take risks. These can fuel innovation, excite customers and set them apart from competitors. However, while many parts of a business may benefit from occasional risks, security is one area that businesses cannot afford to compromise. While trying something new should be encouraged, this should only be done when it can be assured that company and customer data won’t be exposed.
One example is the old-school belief that security is best done by building a wall or perimeter around an organization’s data assets and communication mechanisms.
