Following the Wh1t3 Rabbit - Practical Enterprise Security

Enterprise Security organizations often find themselves caught between the ever-changing needs of the agile business, and the ever-present, ever-evolving threats to that business. At the same time – all too often we security professionals get caught up in “shiny object syndrome” which leads us to spend poorly, allocate resources unwisely, and generally de-couple from the organization we’re chartered to defend.

The need to stay cutting-edge is rather obvious; the latest advances in technology can mean the difference between life and death to a critical patient. In healthcare, sharing information is both a blessing and a curse, with requirements for openness balanced requirements for confidentiality and security pushing and pulling at IT Security professionals at incredible pressures.
