I just read about the ‘mother of all breaches’ and it got me thinking.

Every year, companies are spending more and more on their security. Analysts are always citing a rise in cyberattacks, while companies are spending more and more to secure their networks.

Where’s the disconnect? I work in enterprise networking and we notice a direct correlation between customer spending and IT admin success metrics. (Less downtime, faster MTTR, performance increase, and additional positive qualitative KPIs)

Are these F500 companies doing something wrong? Are security providers doing something wrong? Am I tripping and have no clue what I’m talking about?

Someone please help me understand!

(I know this ‘breach’ doesn’t contain much new data but the sentiment still stands)
