Security in Ten Years

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the wild-world-of-conjecture dept.

Schneier has posted a conversation between himself and Marcus Ranum, Chief Security Officer for Tenable Network Security, Inc. looking at where security is headed. "[...] at a meta-level, the problems are going to stay the same. What's shocking and disappointing to me is that our responses to those problems also remain the same, in spite of the obvious fact that they aren't effective."

    That's where my Third comes in: Reading something without the librarian condoning it was a crime in mediaval monastries. You were still allowed to carry it around. And you had to keep it secret that you were able to read in certain circumstances.
