After over 20 years in cybersecurity, I firmly believe that technology alone has not, and will not, win the war on cyberattacks. The idea of a purely technical solution providing lasting protection is flawed from the outset. The claims of security vendors that only bring technology to the cyber fight is the equivalent of a sheep in wolf’s clothing. It sounds great and looks convincing, but almost never lives up to the hype. Now, I am not saying that technology is not important, even critical, in this fight. It is critical if it is informed properly.
