Love it or hate it, Compliance is the #1 driver of spending in Security. We have come to fear the auditor more than the attacker. Paved with good intentions, where does this road lead? We know we've raised the bar, but at what costs? Have we distracted the industry from evolutions in technology and Advanced Persistent Threats like Aurora. Avoiding tired arguments, this passionate panel brings spirited, adult debate to this central issue in our industry. What is and isn't working - and for which parties? What are the unintended consequences? How can we be more deliberate about the role compliance can and cannot play in the future?
