Sashi Jayeratnam, Senior Director of Product Management for Spirent, explains how an unfortunate reality of modern cybersecurity is that it is often put at odds with the wave of innovation that is now happening in enterprise IT – security testing is often reactive and manual and generally cannot keep up with the complexity or pace that innovation brings about.
