Although, sadly, there was nothing to stop that from happening.

Many of you will have noticed that I have moved back into an analyst role over the last few weeks.

Well, sort of. Customers still want choice, and networking vendors claim to offer it. But this isn’t my first rodeo. When I see “choice” claims from vendors, I see it as just marketing’s way of saying that it’s a messy product portfolio. I’m not innocent.

How much will that loss cost you? How much should you spend to reduce your exposure? You can’t know this until you start measuring your cyber risk. Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is on the rise.
