Chapter 7. Active Directory's Role in Domain Security
“Sixty-five percent of attacks exploit misconfigured systems, and only 30% exploit known vulnerabilities where there's a patch out. Only 5% exploit things we didn't know where there was a problem. Address the 65% and check that things are configured right, and you've just eliminated two-thirds of your problem. Focus on patch management and forcing software vendors to write better software, and you've got the other 30% taken care of. Then, later on, worry about the 5% of evil geniuses who are attacking us with zero-day attacks.”
