How To Find Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities Across Your Environment

 

This article is written by a former CTO who talks about how he managed security at his data center. He talked about the “shotgun test” which is a test to see what you could destroy to do the most damage if you only had one bullet. He wanted to find something equivalent to test cybersecurity. He later suggests that’s Nessus vulnerability scanner might be the closest thing you can do to the shotgun test. He also emphasized the importance of having a balanced security portfolio and spend money wisely on diverse and appropriate security strategies.
