Since the COVID-19 pandemic drove workforces home, we've seen an increase in security risk across the board: from an increase in phishing and spear phishing attacks to an increase in reliance on third-party DNS-over-HTTPS resolver use and sophisticated nation-state attacks like the one that hit SolarWinds.

That means not only looking at their security stack, but at their organization-wide policies, processes, controls, and so on, to reduce risk based on their organization-specific risk framework.

While the goals of cloud security and on-premises security are the same, the design, tools, and methods required to achieve each are very different.

Too many organizations assume they carry less security risk than they do, on the false belief that they are not a target.

Certain CEOs heavily weigh the impact of security risk to their business' operations.

While it's impossible to prevent all incidents, the above are common-sense steps security leaders can take to reduce security risk.
