Are the Days of Individual Security Over?

angry tapir writes "People solely relying on patching and upgrades are lulling themselves into a false sense of security, and individual protection is no longer sufficient in the age of multi-vector attacks, according to the president of the Australian Internet Industry Association. According to AIIA's Peter Coroneos, vendors need to intervene at the network level and provide security tools at multiple levels to help secure people from the variety of threats that are emerging."

1. Assume malice. Once you determine there's no malice, you can go back to your normal discussion.

"need to intervene at the network level and provide security tools at multiple levels to help secure people from the variety of threats that are emerging". That's one of the better ones lately. Ask yourself: what are these security tools capable of doing *besides* stopping viruses?
