Sorry to be harsh, but this is a wishful thinking.
When you've been very careless about security for years (PS3 random seed not random, music rootkit that was hackable, OMA master key leaked, PSN servers not up-to-date, PSN trusting the PS3s, etc...), you don't simply turn into a "secure" company, unless you spend years of corporate policies and formation, trying to change the habits of your employees...
Changing (or creating new) employees reflexes and habitudes isn't something easy at all, especially when you are an international company, with different cultures on board. This can be a herculean task.
I wish they will succeed, though...
- fleitz 15y agoYeah, it's going to take 3-5 years, look how long it took Microsoft.
- guywithabike 15y agoOr it may never happen. Security is a culture and a way-of-life. It's not a couple of technologies, a new CTO, and a couple policy emails and training sessions.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoYes, but culture isn't immutable. And a top-down, company wide focus on security and proper training is a damn good place to start. The problem is getting middle management on board. It's no good if mid-level managers tell their direct reports to go to the training and then go back to business as normal with the same old priorities and no extra time/focus on the new security aspects.
