SolarWinds: One Interesting Message
I read “Wave of Cyberattacks Exposes the Powerlessness of IT Security Chiefs.” With all the hoohah about cyber superiority from government officials and commercial enterprises, one troubling fact is clear: If the advanced systems could not detect the attack nor could top secret security systems monitoring possible bad actors, the defensive and alerting methods are broken.
