Security Yearbook 2025 - Richard Stiennon

. .

Résumé :

The history of the IT security industry is one of necessitated evolution: A new threat arises, IT responds. Driven by mobile, cloud, and remote-work megashifts, the new IT security model breaks this reactive cycle. The new IT security is adaptive, agile, cloud-based, and built on Zero Trust principles: Limit the opportunity for attack and minimize the potential for damage...because you can't steal what you can't see. Richard Stiennon has chronicled this revolution in Security Yearbook. It is vital reading for enterprise IT leaders looking to establish the best-in-world IT security capabilities of the future.
-Jay Chaudhry, CEO and founder of Zscaler
