The “nation-state attacked us” excuse, according to Tenable chairman and CEO Amit Yoran, is not a valid excuse for having a weak system be compromised.
Speaking with ZDNet while in Australia this week, Yoran said there’s an awful lot of money being spent on sophisticated security tooling, but organisations are still leaving the front door wide open for criminals to walk straight in. Compounding this, he said, is the excuse that the organisation was helpless, “making pretend” that they couldn’t have prevented an attack as it originated from an advanced adversary.
