A foundational approach to cybersecurity empowers CISOs to see abnormalities and block threats before they do damage. These developments have made the perimeter so porous that the old approach of simply hiding behind a firewall and keeping the rest of the world at bay is no longer feasible. by David Ratner, CEO, HYAS ( www.hyas.com ).
