Stephen Soble of Assured Enterprises believes the Equifax breach could have been prevented with the right strategy in place to detect deep software vulnerabilities. Soble: “There are something like 500 to 1,000 new vulnerabilities discovered every week” “What’s important is not only to detect, but to be able to remediate,” Soble says. He says the relationship between the board and the IT department is the key to budgeting security budget discussions. In a video interview at Information Security Media Group’s recent 2017 London Fraud and Breach Prevention Summit, Soble discusses why he believes Equifax missed the vulnerability that lead to its exploitation.”]
