10 Security Risks to Live By

1. Security is not black and white.

2: The road to least privilege is a long one.

3: Sacrificing security for compatibility is a bad idea

4: Using the Windows Power Users group is never an answer to least privilege.

5: Your enterprise is only as secure as your most- and least-technical users.

6: "Not knowing" is often your biggest exposure point.

7: If you trust a single piece of security technology to do everything, you’re making a big mistake.

8: Any vendor who claims "100% security" is probably lying to you.

9: Not deploying updates is expensive.

10: The next big thing probably won’t do it all.

Be prepared. Be proactive. Be secure.
