Defend In Depth
Earlier in June, Mark Ford, who lead's Deloitte and Touche's Security and Privacy Services practice, was interviewed by IT Security.
According to Ford, IT security is one of the top issues for CIOs. However, he also noted that a corporate focus on IT security is quicker to take hold in information-centric organizations (banks and other financial service organizations, for example) than in industries like manufacturing or retail that are more geared towards consumers and whose focus is on business operations. With the increase in regulatory focus of such mandates as PCI-DSS and SOX, this has changed over the past few years as corporations in a variety of industries need to have strong IT security in order to be compliant.
What does this mean? Ford commented that historically, companies have put emphasis on the perimeter threat as the key component of IT security. But now, security emphasis is shifting towards a layered defense of the IT infrastructure. The perimeter is still important, but can no longer be considered the main component.
A shift away from the traditional security approaches and towards log management and intelligence, which allows for just the layered sort of approach Ford approves.
