The Security Equals Compliance Disconnect
Security will never be perfect; there will always be a residual risk that must be managed and controlled. Compliance does equal security, at least as best as your preferred standard or framework defines it.
Keep hiding behind “compliance does not equal security,” and you will forever be living off of your “luck” until it runs out – usually sooner rather than later.
Use the tools at your disposal correctly, stay current on threats, monitor your security posture, and live a long, prosperous, secure life.
