Steve Hultquist, chief evangelist at RedSeal, said by email that the new law will likely create additional pressure on organizations to work harder to avoid breaches rather than simply responding to them. “To avoid being breached, organizations have to be able to see and comprehend their extensive and complex network-interconnected systems and to know all possible attack vectors before they are exploited,” he said. “The most visionary organizations understand that this analysis is actually possible, and deploy systems to continuously monitor their network and systems to safeguard their customers’ information and their critical assets.”
