Security audits: what is your game plan?

There’s a lot of confusion about how to perform a security audit and what it entails. Some people think that in order to have a secure infrastructure, all you need to do is install antivirus software and you’re done. Others believe that limiting access to everything is the best approach. But what is right for you? With the varying size of businesses and their staffs, this can be either a walk in the park or a long trip down a winding road. It really depends on the needs of the business, what you do, and what needs to be protected. The guidance given here is taken from my numerous interactions with clients of all sizes, so pick, choose, and use what is right for you.
