Welcome to my first new blog of 2017. At the end of last year I began writing a series of blogs on blockchain and smart contracts. The other area where I can see smart contracts adding value in 2017 is in reducing the amount of fraud that exists today in the US healthcare system.
There are many reasons why businesses should consider the flexible co-sourced arrangements as well as the benefits that consulting resources can bring - As I have highlighted in a previous blog, when it comes maximising your cyber resources, we can choose from a spectrum ranging from full time employees – a vital resource but the least flexible - to co-sourcing.
When it comes to leveraging your cyber resources it is important not to forget the technology, however, the key point to make here is do not simply continue to do what you have always done. That can just lead to “busy work” and essentially you can’t solve all the problems in security just by employing technology, no matter how state of the art it is. The security field is one that is ripe for greater adoption of technology tools to magnify the abilities of security teams.
