Former Cyber-Security Czar Says Network Perimeter Defenses Don't Work
Former U.S. cyber-security coordinator says enterprise executives must assume that malicious hackers have already broken into their corporate networks.
The big question about enterprise security isn't how to keep cyber-criminals out of your network; the big question is how to limit the damage.
According to Richard Clarke, former special advisor to the president for cyber-space and national coordinator for security and counter-terrorism, "The bad guys are already in your network." Meeting over dinner with a small group of Washington D.C.-area media representatives, Clarke said that what companies really need to do is find ways to protect what's really important.
