​"There are a lot of companies out there that just buy (cybersecurity) products. It's the newest product on the market and the CEO says, 'I heard about this. Go buy it.' And they just put more technology on top of more technology. And they are not keeping up to date or tuning or maintaining what they currently have. A lot of companies don't even know what they have." - Gina Yacone of Braintrace
