The article states, "Jacobs says his warnings about the importance of cybersecurity often have gone unheeded, but that's changing thanks to the publicity generated by recent, high-profile hacks." Mr. Jacobs thinks that information security needs more good publicity about how dangerous attackers can be, like in this article, before more businesses take information security seriously. "The recent report released about major attacks from China may finally have opened the eyes of more businesses" states Mr. Jacobs. These attacks affected a wide range of industries. Many of which Netsecuris helps protect.
The title of the article is "Hackers finally get attention they deserve, firm's founder says." Mr. Jacobs was interviewed by the newspaper's business reporter, Nick Woltman. "Mr. Woltman did an excellent job writing this article" according to Mr. Jacobs; "and captured not only what Netsecuris is trying to accomplish but expressed the need for stronger information security by businesses".
Mr. Jacobs states, "Today's threats have evolved into stealthier attacks but the protections have not progressed. Reactive security no longer works. Predictive, proactive security is the answer." Furthermore, Mr. Jacobs states, "That he believes that business has become too dependent on what information security controls such as firewalls and intrusion prevention systems are telling us and not use the best machine there is, the human brain."
