Re: Blockchain..
@batye I agree 100% It has to be an integral part of design and engineering.

Re: Verizon Takes Multiple Approaches
@Ariella, great article. They are definitely on the right track and I believe that their Thingspace, providing a living platform, is a great design.
Interesting point about their security acquisition in 2007 - I had not realized that. If they have that core capability in-house now, that will be golden for them.

Re: Blockchain..
@batye, I agree many companie do cut corners on things like that and even downplay the possibility of threats. But that is false economy when there is a serious breach that can really damage a business for a long time afterwards.

Re: Blockchain..
@batye exactly, and locking the barn door only after the horses have escaped is not the way to go!

Re: Blockchain..
@Ariella glad we agree, but I do hope Co.'s will change it way and put security on the first page of must have/do list :)

Re: Blockchain..
@Ariella, great points about false economy and a sense of security.
Those companies and leaders are only thinking of purchasing technology, and ignoring the fact that the networks today present an ongoing, and even growing, threat to them directly and their customers.
I believe it will eventually become a recognized financial risk and be part of a corporate "risk assessment" as to the potential threats they face - either by not being prepared and having built the right infrastructure or even worse, by not recognizing the threat.

Re: Blockchain..
@Dhagar absolutely denial of the existence of such threats to security is not going to cut it.
