Security Management Key in Data Protection

According to a new set of data from Zone-h.com, more than half of security gaps are the result of configuration mistakes, brute force attacks and social engineering.

Unpatched vulnerabilities and new vulnerabilities represent 26% and 19% of web server penetrations – the remaining 55% are outside the purview of software prevention.

Essentially, even up-to-date software management could not prevent 55% of web server penetrations. Even a so-called “perfect” security tool, though it does not exist, would not provide 100% protection.

What does this mean? That technology is not a solution in and of itself. Security policies are essential – training and security management have a large impact on data security.
