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.

Not until serious security researchers apply the scientific method and successfully build predictive models of attack statistics will it be possible to rationally say at some point, "enough is enough, we're getting good value for our prevention work."
But nobody can even agree on what constitutes good data to build such a model out of, much less get resources to collect it.
