- If you lived your life based on what you read about crimes in the daily papers, you wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. The same is true of much of what we're seeing on web security. Web insecurity is news, and web security isn't, despite the fact that online commerce is the fastest growing marketplace on earth and we're in one of the slowest economies in recent memory.
- The biggest mistake IT professionals make in assessing web security is focusing on the challenge and not looking at the business opportunity. All technologies have risks that need to be managed against their business impact. The job of the IT professional is identifying and then
- minimizing this risk in a way that allows us to introduce new technologies that drive business performance.
- Fifteen years ago, business was conducted largely by phone and physical
- transaction, and criminals found ways to tap phones, overhear conversations and steal physical data. No IT security system in the world is stronger than its weakest link, which is the human being. As business moves to the web, we face new security risks. There is no turning back.
