How Can You Be 100% Secure?

There is still no such thing as ‘100%’ secure. Nobody can offer a guarantee to stop every Cyber Attack. Breaches keep coming, even for the world’s largest and best-resourced organizations.

What’s going wrong?

Despite increasing investments in IT Security year on year, annual incidences of data breaches are growing even faster with over 7.9 billion data records exposed between January and September 2019 - a 33% increase from the same period in 2018.

WannaCry in 2017, which hit over 230,000 victims in 150 countries within a matter of days, showed that we are all at risk of similar ‘perfect storms’ when a ubiquitous vulnerability is uncovered and exploited quickly before natural patching cycles can provide protection. It’s only a matter of time before the next malware pandemic strikes, but in the meantime, phishing attacks will continue to probe for any weakness.

The rules for Cybersecurity Professionals remain the same. Operate all security best practices, and don’t cut corners on either vulnerability management or change control, critical to both maintaining security defenses and to isolating breach activity if and when it does happen.
