Paraphrasing NSA: Wave="basic blocking and tackling"

Excerpt from linked article in replied-to post:

Mr. Henry said there is a misconception that only e-commerce and banking companies are vulnerable to attacks but that the real danger now comes from theft of internal information such as personal data, research and development or intellectual property.

But the problem doesn’t lie only with the potential victims, speakers said. Rob Joyce, deputy director of the information assurance directorate of the NSA, said it needs to be easier for companies to protect themselves without devoting huge amount of staff to the task.

“Eighty percent of the compromises can be thwarted by basic blocking and tackling,” he said. “Automation is the only way we close the 80% threat.”
