A successful security program doesn’t always require large financial and staff resources; rather, it needs individuals to have situational awareness. The role of the IT security professional today is expanding from mere analysis of firewall and anti-virus to analysis of mission-critical applications like advanced data streams and investigation of security events that significantly impact the business.
