LESSONS LEARNED
CIOs and CISOs must think strategically about how to adapt security to meet the demands of new technology and infrastructure. In the public sector especially, you don't have the luxury of hand-picking a partner for every security area. It's important to develop a relationship with a security partner who understands your needs, can provide a comprehensive solution, and can scale with your business needs.
