Cybersecurity: Easy as Tiger Repellant? By @TheEbizWizard | @CloudExpo #Agile #Cloud

If you’re a vendor of a cybersecurity product and you’re hammering out your value proposition, you might assume that prevention is a stronger value proposition than deterrence, and mitigation is the weakest of the three. After all, mitigation presumes a successful attack, right?
