Those of us on the cyber threat frontlines at Keyavi Data view the entire FireEye-SolarWinds catastrophe through a very different lens. It’s a mile-high view that proves our entire thesis: why data must be smart and able to protect itself from cybercriminals – no matter where it goes, where it’s stored or who has it.
The painful reality is that no one can trust a majority of network monitoring and security technologies on the market today. Yet, the knee-jerk reaction of many organizations will be to keep piling on more tools, fearful that, if they slip up even once, a hacker will penetrate their system. Their one assumed premise – that data can’t protect itself – never enters into the equation.
