Finding themselves occasionally working away from home and not wanting to leave their computer on for extended periods, [robotmaker]’s solution was to hack into existence a WiFi-controlled power bar!

Business-Driven Security™ to Lead through Chaos

My last post discussed the changing nature of security. The impact of today’s cyberattacks aren’t limited to stealing financial information or personal data. Instead, these attacks seed chaos. With this reality at hand, the need for business-driven security is even more pronounced. Security professionals must draw connections between the technical details of a security incident…
