It's Hard to Compete with Hope

As an IT security vendor, it's hard to compete with hope. After all, hope is free.

I hope I don't get hacked today.

I hope nobody writes their User ID and Password on a Post-it note.

I hope nobody opens that phishing email.

I hope those ports are encrypted.

I hope my vendor told me about their terminated employees.

I hope my remote workers are logging in with secure devices.

I hope that off-shore prince gets back to me today. He said it was a sure thing.

It's good to have hope. It has helped me through some hard times. But, it's not a great IT security plan.

It's time to invest in a more concrete, more reliable, sure thing. And, while no security plan is an absolute sure thing, I can assure you that "hope" is not even in the running.

So, here are my hopes for you today:

I hope you research some great options for securing remote access to your network. There are lots to choose from.

I hope you find a champion in your Board of Directors to support this initiative.

I hope you find a partner that you trust, to help you do this, once and for all.

And yes, I hope you hear from that off-shore prince.
