Consultants offer seven tips for defensive security agility
Original title: 7 tips for achieving defensive agility
Advice covers zero trust, tool consolidation, reversible automation, and cutting committee delays before attackers move.
CSO Online collects advice from Infosys, Deloitte, CompTIA, Microsoft, Black Kite, and Softline on adapting defenses without stopping operations. Contributors urge a zero-trust baseline, fewer disconnected tools, and AI-assisted detection where confidence is high and actions can be reversed. They also argue for architecture that limits threat spread, continuous decision loops, and automation that leaves judgment to people. No incident, product flaw, or patch is described.
- Randy Gross says lock accounts, kill sessions, or isolate devices when confidence is high.
- Timur Rakhmatullin says he scans more than 30 repositories with in-house tools.
- Bob Maley warns that steering-committee delays create the gap attackers use.
- Sharon Chand says disconnected tools and old software slow containment.
