There’s an old expression that the most dangerous part of a car is “the nut holding the steering wheel.” It means that despite all the technology that goes into making cars safer, there’s still risk associated with human error by the driver. The same holds true for an enterprise network. Despite all the technology that offers data loss prevention, encryption, intrusion detection, firewalls and vulnerability scanning, network breaches still occur. That’s because the technology has to be complimented with proper employee training, rigorous adherence to best practices, internal policies and effective IT security management. An enterprise that relies solely on technology to protect its network, without effective management, is still very much at risk.
