Re: Outsource?
And Anthem (BCBS) outsourced to Fujitsu.  I have never seen "run your mess for less" actually work.

Outsource?
An outsource entity has ONE and only one business interest at heart and that is to be PAID.  They care about the invoice and everything else is secondary.  Oh they will never tell YOU are the client that, but rare is the outsource project that is a sucess.  IBM has the worst track record by far of any major corporation and consider that name!!  IBM --- once the giant of American information tech.  Now, more employees in India!!!  And don't go near Wipro, Tata, Infosys or any other of the low cost providers.  Keep SECURITY IN-HOUSE at all costs.  It just is not worth the risk!!!

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
