Neiman Marcus CC # theft - 60,000 Alerts ignored.



Here is an reason/excuse from the company spokeswoman - “These 60,000 entries, which occurred over a three-and-a-half month period, would have been on average around 1 percent or less of the daily entries on these endpoint protection logs, which have tens of thousands of entries every day,”

A company that receives 60,000x100 alerts a day has a problem defining what an ALERT is or, the spokeswomen does not know what an ALERT means or why it is generated in the first place.
