A few years ago security and breach protection was all the topic of the day in the email space. There were some high profile break ins at ESPs and data companies and everyone was looking at their security. Companies were vocal and public about their security enhancements. Many in the email industry even used the term “advanced persistent threats.”
Security seems to have taken a back seat to Yahoo releasing user names, and Gmail introducing tabs in the inbox and all the myriad of tiny details that we feel we have some control over.
But security still should be at the forefront of our minds. Just today Adobe announced a major compromise resulting in both a customer information leak and a source code theft.
It serves as a reminder to all of us that security threats are ongoing and we cannot become complacent.
When did you check your security last?
