Tripwire has a great list of 20 of the best IT security lessons ever learned. Below are the top 10 of my favorite tips from the list:
- Security must enable business, not prevent it
- Work with people. Don’t fight them
- Problems first, then solutions
- Teach the basics again and again
- To get respect, you’ll need a few shots fired at you
- Think like an attacker
- Backup your data…away from the data source
- If it’s online, you can’t be certain it’s private
- Record as much activity as you can
- Security is everyone’s responsibility
