A Fresh Look at Outsourcing

Datashield's President and CISO on Re-Thinking Your Core Business Competencies
A Fresh Look at Outsourcing

The biggest security budget in the business cannot save you from also suffering one of the biggest breaches. The key is: Do you have the right skills and technology deployed to defend your critical assets? Michael Malone and Ben Johnson of Datashield, an ADT company, make the case for needing to take a fresh look at outsourcing.

"A lot companies outsource non-core departments of their business, and [then] try to be in the security business," Malone says. "And a lot of them quite frankly fail, which is why we see all the breaches we see in the news."
