It comes down to education, awareness, knowledgable and trained administrators, top-level recognition of security issues and commitment (not lip service), secure default configurations, proper incident response, better end user training. This is what will make the difference - not technology. Sure, technology is a big part, but with the best technology we will still find ways to stuff things up if we don't address some of the issues listed above.
