APTs: The fine balance of control and monitoring


Security is not about winning the war. It is more like insurance, it's about how we handle risks. In order to successfully handle the risk of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) we need to focus on the high stake targets that we want to protect. The challenge, then, is to build a multi-layered security architecture with the right balance of control and monitoring technologies that can prevent any lower-impact threats from escalating into a full blown attack.
