@campuscodi Well, a good start would be: Don't use Microsoft. Make extensive use of free and opensource software. Get rid of all security snakeoil. Start to develop leightweight software w/o unclear dependencies. Remember the good old Unix philosophy. Establish clear ISMS in your Enterprise Governance. - No? Well... then brace for impact.
