The ALL or NOTHING Cyber Security Paradox
- Bucephalus355 8y agoThis is the key statement: > The stock price of the vendors that shape corporate IT thinking and spending depends a lot on getting customers to continue to upgrade or modernize their networks on a regular basis. It is not in the best interests of large network and network security vendors to have customers reduce the extent or sophistication of their infrastructure. We might very well be reaching the end of a constant feature update era. In a sense, we really have to go back and rewrite 30 years of software to make it secure. This could take 15, maybe 30 years. Due to security concerns, in the future we might see “new functions / features” treated as a backwater concern, much like security is today. Good news is it means tons of US jobs. It makes no sense to outsource or even “onshore” in such cases.
