Are security professionals failing?
- Wednesday May 10th, 2006
Noam Eppel at Vivica IS has published a fairly damning indictment of security professionals and what he perceives as our failure to combat security threats. It’s pretty strong reading and I suspect it’ll provoke some powerful responses. At first glance many of his arguments do seem valid. I am not sure however how many of the weaknesses he demonstrates are purely the responsibility or within the ability of most security professionals to fix. Truly getting an edge on the threats out there may well be impossible but if it at all feasible it will require the cooperations of vendors, security professionals, corporations, companies and other organsations but most important - the end user. Security professionals alone cannot be expected to carry the burden as well the banner.
