Global Security, Privacy, & Risk Management

Chris Mark in September 2013 – SC Magazine (Interview and Article) August 21, 2013

In the August, 2013 edition of Secure Computing Magazine (SC Magazine), I have an interview and article included.  The interview is for the cover story called “Beyond the Checkbox; PCI DSS” and the article is called “Understanding Parallax and Convergence to Improve Security”.   Below is an excerpt from the article..be sure to check them out!

“To address today’s threats, companies require a high degree of convergent perspective, information expertise, and coordination between personnel and groups. Previously, companies could “make do” with basic security controls such as firewalls, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and anti-virus. Attempting to understand the threats facing an organization and analyzing risk was often an afterthought, as companies relied upon simple compliance matrices and lists of “best practices” to secure their environment. This is no longer sufficient to address the threats of 2013.  A major mistake in information security implementation is what can be referred to as “security parallax.””
