Network security is a moving target! The threat of malicious hackers demands constant attention, but few companies have sufficient resources and personnel for the battle. Did you know that: 99% of all hacking attacks result from known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations which means....... 99% are preventable!
It's not an exaggeration to say that hackers probably audit most networks more often than administrators do.
