Fortress’ Vice President of Solutions Engineering, Jon Taylor spoke with Ashlyn Webb from WFTV about the Florida election website outage earlier this week and what can be done to prevent a repeat occurrence in November. “For web server systems, anytime you get traffic into the site, there’s an option to log that traffic. Usually, it’s turned down to a point where it’s not an issue, especially when you’re expecting a lot of visitors.

#CDK gave us a good wake-up call in a thankfully limited impact (compared to our essential services) bubble. Overall, as consumers and service providers, we all must acknowledge that cyber events are a part of life, and there is no such thing as perfect security. That absolutely does not mean we give up – it means that we should demand – with our pocketbooks – that companies become more transparent in how they protect our information and services that are critical to our lives and businesses. #Cybersecurity #Infosec #CriticalInfrastructure #SupplyChainSecurity #SupplyChain
