Data & Application Security demand continues to rise

If you don't have this blog marked in your RSS reader or linked from your blog roll you are missing out! The insights and candid perspectives are outstanding and extremely insightful when you take the time to read and ponder Rich Mogull's perspectives over at www.securosis.com. Here are some recent gems:

Rich recently blogged about the upcoming trend around data and application security driving the security business growth in the next 3-5 years. During that post he articulated the "rise of data security" through a very concise recap on why/how we came to where we are today.

Then I must also give major kudos to his crack editing and spoof video on public sensitive data breaches called Data Breach Wars.

It's extremely entertaining for the first 60 seconds!!! Then unfortunately it starts to drag on a little (sorry Rich, maybe if the scrolling went faster). It does drive home a key point. Data Breaches are not slowing down but increasing exponentially and will continue to increase until Enterprises take a more strategic, not just tactical approach to Security, Risk & Compliance Management of their data and applications.
