Security, 1994-2004: Then And Now
Daniel Hanson, 2004-10-20

Comparing the state of security in 1994 versus 2004, has anything really changed over the course of ten long years?

Ten years ago, very few of the users where I worked had email.
Now everyone has email and most users here have net access. The sheer number of threat avenues has increased, in my mind.
Also,back then I used to work in a company which had two computers which did a few accounting roles.
Now, we have about fifteen 'critical' applications(everything is critical now!). I'm expected to keep abreast of all of them.

Good article though. People's expectations of the net are possibly unrealistic too. In terms of how much it can handle before it becomes a liability to companies....
