With virtualization, smartphones and cloud computing, IT leaders have to avoid technical and political mistakes in IT security. CIO.com identified these five security mistakes as the biggest mistakes to avoid:
- Thinking that the business mindset of the organization is the same as five years ago.
- Failing to build working relationships between IT and upper-level managers.
- Not preparing for a data breach.
- Complacency with IT security vendors.
- Not understanding that virtualization has pulled the rug out from under everyone’s security footing.
