“Cybersecurity is not going away. You cannot ignore it, shortcut it, or under fund it, and the moment you do that - you pay the price later. What has changed is the sophistication on the attacker’s side, and response and preparation needs to take this into account. That is why it’s key to invest in threat intelligence, threat modeling, and similar subjects.”
- Michael Oberlaender
“We've got to be building the ability to deliver whatever services the business wants, which means breaking down the monolithic stacks and breaking down the mindset that we have to do it in house…We've got to adapt the IT department, and the company, to the idea that we set a data architecture, a security architecture, a delivery architecture, and then move to a modular IT environment where we would be the stewards of the work, and not necessarily arms and legs of all of them.”
- Wayne Sadin
