Good Time To Be In The Computer Security Business
from the the-worse-things-get,-the-better-business-is dept
While IT spending still isn't increasing noticeably, it turns out that a larger and larger portion of the budget is focused on security spending. In other words, security companies have done a bad enough job protecting computers that security is becoming a bigger and bigger problem - and those security companies are now profiting from it. Now, I'm sure that the security firms are doing their best to stop problems, but the incentives are still misaligned. The more security problems there are, the more the security vendors seem to make. This encourages them to be reactive, rather than proactive about security.

No Subject Given
As once put eloquently by a manager for a major west-coast telco: "I'm not going to pay you $5k to find me a $10k problem."

Re: No Subject Given
Of course you are, otherwise it could end up costing you $50,000 or more... and that would have been in writing, CC'ed to his boss.
