LESSONS LEARNED
The biggest mistake I’ve seen organizations make is to aim for perfection right off the bat. Digital transformation is a journey, which requires a clearly defined phased approach. Also, in terms of implementation, it’s better to get started with a minimal policy, giving instant security uplift and more over visibility, than to try to implement a granular and restrictive policy day one.
