Overview:
For better or worse, the security field changes rapidly. It differs from mainstream IT work in that predicting the next challenge proves quite difficult. Threats appear to come out of nowhere,
and incidents seem to strike at random. On the other hand, like all areas of IT, security as a discipline constantly builds on itself, rarely taking a step backward. In particular, over the last year we've seen attacks used in new and
complex combinations, growing sophistication in online criminal activities, and an escalation of the ongoing arms race between the developers of malicious software and the creators of defensive tools.
These developments have either overwhelmed some traditional security measures or made them irrelevant. As a result, organizations have had to change their tactics in order to cope.
