Summary
Most environments fail on fundamentals. The cause is rarely a lack of flashy technology. Automox CISO Jason Kikta treats three of those fundamentals as non-negotiable: asset inventory management, patch management and vulnerability remediation, and identity and access management. His time around U.S. government cyber work shaped that view. Former NSA Tailored Access Operations chief Rob Joyce put it plainly: top-tier attackers learn a network better than its owner does. Most breaches exploit known, already-patched vulnerabilities. Strong authentication and least privilege close the doors that compromised credentials open.
