Security still underfunded
Kelly Martin, 2005-08-03

Blackhat is one of my favorite places to do some casual online banking over an insecure WiFi connection. Where's the risk, right? All joking aside, Blackhat is in fact a great place to do some deep thought on the current state of the security industry.

Agreed. There's two different ways of security-working. First of 'em and SADLY an usual one - it's when you're working for money. They are everything for you and anything else is side-effect. And second one is when you're living in your IT tasks, solving 'em and make the code and the system better. Then good amount of money is a constant SIDE-EFFECT but nothing more. Cisco, MicroSoft and Oracle - they work JUST for money. All the security applications aer extremely underfunded until it's TOO late and the system is broken. Only then business people are starting to realize one simple fact : every time thei're spending a dollar for security reasons they spend it to protect all the rest of money and resources they have.
