But to be effective, a Darwinian approach has to be implemented industrywide and can't be restricted to a single vendor, he adds.
In an video interview at RSA Conference 2018, Schiappa discusses :
- The evolution of security defenses;
- Insight into the current security landscape;
- Metrics from Sophos' "The Dirty Secrets of Network Firewalls" report.
Schiappa is senior vice president and general manager of Sophos' end-user and network security groups. Schiappa oversees the overall product strategy, product management, architecture, research and development, product quality, and release plans for both groups, including recent innovations in next-generation endpoint and firewall products.
