Security tools are supposed to do a job. Either they need to alert you, protect you, or remediate an issue. But they don't always work and that's why we have breaches. Who's at fault, the tool or the administrators who configured the tool?

Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. We welcome our guest Kenneth Foster (@Kennethrfoster1), vp of IT governance, risk and compliance at FLEETCOR.
