“Have surveillance tools configured and ready to deploy ahead of time. There is a lot of trial and error and you don’t want to be doing that when someone needs to be ‘looked at’ more closely.” – Mike Wilkes, CISO, SecurityScorecard
Quotes from the chat room
“Another issue I see in the wild that is a real problem is how Dropbox will be the *preferred* solution at once company, then the employee leaves that company and goes to another where say, OneDrive is the preferred solution and Dropbox is flagged as a risk. This confuses people from my experience. Multiply this out by the dozens of SaaS tools that people use in their daily jobs.” – Jason Keirstead, Distinguished Engineer & Chief Technical Officer of Threat Management, IBM
