How do you know if you love what you do for a living? It’s a simple question that seems straight-forward enough, but it’s not always easy to answer. Many people would instinctively say something like, “I just know” or “I can just feel that it’s right” or “I definitely know the opposite – when I don’t love what I do.”. Those aren’t wrong answers, they’re just a bit vague.

Today’s digital capabilities offer great promise for businesses big and small. But, in order to realize that promise, business leaders must be willing to drastically re-think their company’s business processes. In fact, all processes must be broadened to include all related responsibilities and tasks, independent of organization design or “chain of command” and they must be redesigned independently of current work locations and physical plant.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital.

They’ve spent tons of time and money centralizing their incident response workflows around SIEMs, and have built substantial libraries of rules that need their constant attention. Shrewd SIEM vendors built an amazingly sticky security product, but they’re also acutely aware that their customers have been less than satisfied.

Recently, I was speaking with a CISO friend of mine and he mentioned that his company suffered a breach. I asked if it was a ransomware attack, and sadly, that was the case. Malware had infected nearly every connected computer. Clearly there was a breakdown in protective controls, but I’ll get to that in another post. Digging deeper, I inquired if the amount was under $2,000.
