Quote of the Week
“While it may go against traditional instincts around security, which usually centers on control and restrictions to fight human error, it’s best to let employees just be themselves — and design your systems to cope with that. The combination of understanding employees’ everyday interactions with IT and having the power to analyze every possible scenario in real time can help security teams define more appropriate levels of authentication for the entire workforce, from tech-savvy developers to the Luddites in the boardroom. This provides the right balance of security, privacy, and user experience, while protecting organizations—and the people within them—from themselves.” from How Machine Learning Can Help Identify Cyber Vulnerabilities
